Software Technology Expertise
The iPad is a revolutionary mobile device created by Apple, Inc. It is a proprietary device, so Java and other mainstream mobile applications don't work on it. Instead, Apple created its own API language that developers need to use. iPadruns iPhone OS, which shares a common heritage and many underlying technologies with Mac OS X. Whereas OS X powers Apple's desktop and notebook lines of personal computers, iPhone OS was designed to meet the needs of a strictly mobile, multi-touch environment. So while existing Mac OS X developers will feel somewhat at home developing for iPad, they'll also find technologies that are iPad-only, such as 3-axis accelerometer support and a host new interface elements not even found on iPhone.
Sourcebits has the capacity to unlock the full potential of this exciting platform. iPhone apps Sourcebits has published such as The Plateau, Night Stand, and Knocking Live Video already harness the complete spectrum of iPhone OS capability, including touch, tilt, 3G networking, and voice sensors. As we’re busy updating our best sellers to take advantage of the new features and capabilities Apple has unleashed with iPad, you can bet we’ve also got dedicated teams working on a host of fresh new iPad-specific projects for clients – and ourselves!
