Our new iPad arrived on Saturday, and we've had a chance to download each of the nearly 150 apps that we've produced and check them out. Overall, every single app converted to the new platform extremely well. All functions that are in your iPhone app have transferred to the iPad - the streams, the links, etc. Welcome to the iPad.
The real question that we are going to focus on moving forward is how to take advantage of the larger screen. We are going to spend a lot of time experimenting, visiting other iPad apps, and brainstorming. As always, we welcome your input. If you know someone who has an iPad (or if you stood in line this weekend), check out your app as well as those that have been designed exclusively for the platform.
If you would like to see a demonstration, watch the video above.
The iPad opens up new ways to engage consumers and listeners. We look forward to discussing ways we can upgrade your app.
