Information on iPhone Apps Development Vs. iPad Application Development - Part1


I have been writing on mobile application development from some time now and there is no topic which is as interesting as to write about iPhone Apps Development and iPad ApplicationDevelopment. For all those who are new to my articles, I am Nicholas, well off course that is my pen name. I work in one of very well-known Mobile App and Games development company Morpheous, and here is where I share my development knowledge, so for those who want to get their Apps or Games development can go through these articles and have enough information to get started.

So, when you have an app idea first thing what comes into your mind is for which platform you need to get it developed? iPhone App Development or iPad App Development Where does my application fit the best and which device will be really suitable for my application? What will be more users friendly for my App, iPhone Screen or iPad Screen? These are some basic questions which come into mind and which you might need some quick answers too, before you decide on the development company or development platform. First thing you need to know is that there is not much difference in iPhone Application Development and iPad Application Development. Both follow same development methodology and both uses the same iOS SDK as development platform.

Differences are in screen size and also display and mobility. iPhone is surely more mobile than iPad and also has more screen reach ability than of iPad. Screen reach ability means that you can reach to most of the surface of the screen with one hand than using both hands and clicking things far away in screen like what happens in iPad. So, based on the type of idea you have and app you want to get developed you need to make choice between iPhone Apps Development and iPad Apps Development. If your application is business app or app which needs more space to display more data, go for iPad Application Development or if it is ok with some categories and you want it to be more specific and less of details then go for iPhone Apps Development. You also need to understand that there are more iPhone in market then there are iPad, so if you want your app to reach to more people, you need to launch first in iPhone.

I will cover more info in next part of this article and will provide you more details on which device you need to choose and why? Hope this info will be helpful for you to decide between iPhone Apps Development and iPad Application Development.
