The iPad Question

Mar 232010

Recently we’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding the iPad launch. Is there going to be a new tablet design screen inside Mobify? Is there even a need to redesign websites to work on the iPad?

The short answer is – let’s wait and see. Many questions regarding iPad performance and usability can only be answered when it hits the shelves. One thing is for sure though – expect new and exciting services from Mobify ;)

    You guys are doing a great job. Awesome service. Keep it up! I’m excited to see what you guys have in store.

    My main question at the moment is: does the Mobify mobile detection script register the iPad as a mobile device (presumably it has it’s own browser profile, but I think it’s essentially using Mobile Safari). I don’t think there’s a need to make a mobile version of your site for the iPad (of course you can if you want to), and I certainly don’t want iPad using getting redirected to my mobile page, which is optimised for much smaller screens.

    p.s. CSS on this page is all messed up in Webkit browsers (not sure about anything else) see screenshot.

    Good question!

    We’ve re-written all of our redirection scripts to not redirect the iPad by default — we agree with you, the iPad was designed to provide a desktop-like web browsing experience. As to the CSS — I think you caught us right in the middle of launching our new blog design. :)
