The iPad. Hate it, love it, addicted to it?… reactions are all over the web, the only thing you can’t do is ignore the new “magical” device from Apple. Steve Jobs finally reached the target he and Wozniak had when they initially started working together: the iPad is the first computer for people that don’t really need a computer. Housekeepers, wives (or the rare non-tech husbands), children, grandmas and grandpas… all of them just fall in love with Apple’s tablet device.

What the iPad did to personal computing
How to build your own iPad in real-size for prototyping.
Magical, revolutionary, and very difficult to get how great it is without having it in your hands. That’s what Steve Jobs said, right?… And how does he expect his fellow developers to create apps for this before the iPad comes to market if he doesn’t spare units to developers?
AppleInsider reports only a very few selected companies got the iPad, and they had to agree to keep the Apple tabled hidden in a room without windows (no kidding!) and never show it to their grandma.
All others, like us, are just left out of the game, and people around the globe are inventing apps for a device they never saw. Well that’s what I’m doing now at least. So just how big is this iPad thing?

Yes, you read it well, I, the guy coming from Apple’s EvangeList, am saying Microsoft has done something “new” and “original”… How’s that? Read on to find out.
iPad & iPhone GUI User Interface Elements for Photoshop Prototyping
We discussed in the past what are the best tools out there to create mock-ups for an iPhone application storyboard — a document that describes the app flow and the desired user interaction that will get you much closer to prototyping.
A few days since the iPad has been shown in public for the first time and the iPhone SDK with the iPad simulator has been released, the first Photoshop (PSD) library of GUI (User Interface) elements has surfaced on the web…
How to build a 3D tag cloud on iPhone — challenges and solutions
Since the iPhone tocuhscreen is quite small and has great support for interactivity a 3D tag cloud looks an ideal choice for an iPhone application user interface. Neither iPhone SDK classes nor 3rd party libraries have 3D tag cloud classes, at least no libraries I heard of, so I implemented it from scratch.
You can see the final result in the Toneaphone Ringtones iPhone App we developed last year.
