Our iPad is finally here, recently landed in the Fiabee office, directly from California with a slight detour through Germany!

Picking it up, the first impression is that it weighs a bit more than we were expecting, although totally manageable. Screen resolution is spectacular, though we still can’t come to terms with how quickly it gets covered with oily fingerprints.

Jose has just one question: Will our iPhone app (launching VERY shortly) work on the iPad or will we have to make adjustments to adapt? Within 10 minutes he’s already setting up the development environment that will be compatible (or not) with the iPad…After just 30 minutes, the answer is that our iPhone app works just fine on the iPad, you can access data, photos and videos from our iPhone app also on the iPad!

Apple has an iPhone simulator for the iPad which lets you launch applications on the iPad as if you were running them on the mobile, although losing some resolution on the graphics and buttons. Another words, it’s plug&play, but you do lose some of the features characteristic of the iPad.

The photos are high quality-the iPad really lets you take advantage of its high definition screen, so we’re already playing around to look through the photos and videos stored on our Fiabee account.

We’re going dive into developing Fiabee for the iPad as well, as soon as we can squeeze it into our pipeline. For now however, just around the corner, were about to launch our brand new and shiny iPhone app.
