How to make iPhone Apps and Influence People Musings on the iPhone development process

Apple unveils iPad

What a night! Dragging myself up out of bed at 2:45 am (Seoul time) to check in to the MacTalk Australia live coverage; idle in ustream the IRC chat room; and refresh the live Gdgt.com text feed was totally worth it! Not only were the rumours true; but the price is reasonable and the versions arriving with 3G connectivity (using the strange Micro-Sim card ) will come unlocked. iPad runs on a new version of the iPhone OS; on custom Apple silicone; and touts an all glass 9.7 inch multi touch display. 60 and 90 day arrival times for the Wifi and 3G versions respectively.

My opinion: I want one.

Demonstations of the device appearing all over the web show the iPad with a multi column layout, orientating to however you hold the device. I can't wait to see what developers make of the new UI elements and SDK APIs.

As far as my development goes - all my current work on Seoul City Metro 1.1 appears to be compatible and runs just fine in the iPad's simulator in it's 1x and 2x zoom mode. Anyway, just a few screenshots that I've already posted on twitter - time to get back to work.
