A New Buzz In Town- Ipad Mini Application Development
Apple unveiled a new product iPad Mini in the category of 7 inch tablets now dominated by Samsung Nexus7 and Kindle Fire HD
. The new iPad Mini is a sleek device with impressive looks and similar features to its elder brother iPad. It is a follow step to bridge the gap of between 4 inch iPhone and 10 inch iPad.
Though, it got a very meager response on the launch day as compared to other Apple products launch held before. But as per experts in the coming time Apple iPad Mini may stick some great sales in future.
Now, what difference it will bring in iphone software development and iPad apps development environment? The iPad Mini is expected to have 275K apps in its pocket out of all 700k apps in the Apple app store which is a big gap. It is also said that all iPad applications will run successfully on iPad because of the same pixel ratio 1024x768 but that does not mean that iPad Mini will not have applications exclusively made for it.
It is a very challenging time for iphone app developer as recently the two products launched by Apple have changes in dimensions which need to be addresses by them very smartly. Though we cannot call it hardware fragmentation as it is a very initial face and we are not clear about what all issues developers are facing. But then the Apples development environment is not that easy anymore as it was before the launch of iPhone5 and iPad Mini.
iPad Mini is a device designed for one handed usage. So, there are some particular applications categories which will actually be very beneficial for developers to consider like navigation, tourism, education and many more.
The new iPad Mini is an interesting concept with strong brand and app store by its side but them it has great competition of dominated players which are available at a half price. Now, lets wait and watch to see what response people actually show in coming time.
