The immense popularity of Apple devices causes high demand for applications tailored to iOS-based products, including iPad. Mobile industry boasts loads of companies offering diverse solutions for iPad and Best Web Design Agencies aim to pick companies with the most creative, cutting-edge and efficient ideas.

Creating its rankings researches from Best Web Design Agencies follow the number of criteria which focus on the most crucial aspects of iPad development and feature the general services provided by iPad developers, as well as the expectations in the industry.

The most crucial criterion is the quality level of the developed application. It should attain the universal standards of quality set by the vast majority of iPad apps already submitted to App Store.

Vendor’s track record also plays important role in the choice of the best iPad developers. Researchers check carefully all rejected apps and the reasons they could not be submitted to App Store.

The design of the application is the third evaluation criterion. To be called the best iPad developer company should deliver professionally designed products with attractive user-friendly interface.

Obviously, robust customer support is what makes mobile solutions efficient and profitable. Therefore the approach to clients and the ability to provide qualified 24/7 support is considered by Best Web Design Agencies as one of the key evaluation criteria.

Last but not least, researches look into QA procedures making sure apps developers are able to provide profound testing before the application is released.

It’s nice to know that the Intellectsoft iPad solutions fulfill all these requirements and we are ranked No. 2 in the Top 10 Best iPad Developers. However, we have a serious reason to double our efforts in order to reach the first place next year.

Haven’t heard about GEM Motoring Assist Company?

Originally established in 1932 as the Company of Veteran Motorists to combat the increasing number of road accidents, GEM Motoring Assist is the UK’s leading driving based Road Safety association with around 70,000 members. All set a good example on the road by agreeing to drive with care, courtesy and concentration.

GEM Motoring Assist app is available on Android Market and App Store right now.

With the increase in the number of iPhones, iPod touches and iPads up to 315 million, the number of apps have risen too. Today’s expected unveiling of the iPad 3 is set to spark another app-buying frenzy. Billions more apps have been downloaded for rival systems such as Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone 7.

Right now there are more than 550 thousand free and paid-for apps on the store (though, while you’re reading this post the number might have increased again). Actually, Intellectsoft had a hand in the process with CatNav, Pocket Physio, CarDaddy and many other great apps.

Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, said: "We’d like to thank our customers and developers for helping us achieve this historic milestone of 25 billion apps downloaded. When we launched the App Store less than four years ago, we never imagined that mobile apps would become the phenomenon they have, or that developers would create such an incredible selection of apps for iOS users.”

Indeed, the speed at which apps are being sold is stark given that the 10 billionth app was downloaded as recently as last January.

It seems like a serious reason to celebrate, doesn’t it? Well, being quite a unique company with an unmatched approach to everything they do Apple celebrates 25bln download launching a new App Store category. The “Catalogs” could be a tantalising glimpse of something bigger to be unveiled tonight at the launch of the next-generation iPad. The experts have already called this release a bit premature, because listing particular apps this category doesn’t feature in the store's front window. Besides, there’s no category home page for «Catalogs» at time of writing. The reclassification even surprised a UK dev house whose fashion store app has been recategorised to the new Catalogs section.

Maybe this new section is just a way to tidy up the Lifestyle shelf, which bowed under the great range of shopping apps of all kinds (TopShop, Tesco and Groupon mixed with the likes of Get a Girl, SpareRoom and iBaby Feed Timer). Also, the new Catalog category may be a new way to lure users to shop via iOS devices. Anyway, only Apple knows exactly what they are doing and they’re doing it well (most of the time).

The app is developed for the Persian Cat Press (PCP) — a well-known publisher from Greater Manchester, UK. They specialise in publishing iStories and are always on the lookout for the most amusing and fascinating updates from App Store. Their top-notch specialists download a lot of story apps at their official website.

PCP decided to share their well-written, honest and concise recommendations with iPhone and iPad users via the Cat-Nav app. What a marvellous idea!

Why Cat-Nav is a real must-have for iPhone and iPad users?

This app is a boon for the fans of Apple devices, as it will help you get the most of your iPhone or iPad. Being intuitive and easy-to-use Cat-Nav includes loads of handy features. The Cat-Nav app features extensive archive (with links to an even bigger archive on the PCP official website) and “Persian Cat Press favorites” section telling you all about the apps they most enjoyed over the past few months.

What’s more, the app boasts such advantages as weekly updates delivered via push-notification, quick links to an extensive searchable archive with loads of reviews of quality apps, weekly update of reviews archive , etc. Last but not least, Cat-Nav is ad-free and no in-app purchasing is necessary.

We owe the progress in smartphone industry exactly to iPhone, as due to this Apple’s device smartphones around the world gave up stylus in favour of fingers, got huge touch-screen panels and mobile application development was taken to the whole new level with the App Store. By the way, Apple App Store is still the most prominent and profitable platform for mobile apps delivery.

For these five years Apple has launched five versions of its famous smartphone (iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S), continuously extending its market share, which in the USA reaches 36% and in Europe – 20-30%.

By the way, being part of the iPhone Developer Program, we, at Intellectsoft, have immediate access to the most up-to-date development utilities and iPhone operating system software ahead of the release schedules. This results in a pleasant bonus for our clients: no more need to apply for membership when releasing content to the App Store; we'll take it upon ourselves to make sure the deployment is completed swiftly and the content is promptly released to countless iPhone users from around the world. However, we realise that some might desire to become members of the iPhone Developer Program themselves, in which case we'll gladly help in opening this account and submitting a thorough application.

Please, take a look at our iPhone portfolio to get a more in-depth review of our iPhone applications.

— bugs affecting battery life are fixed

— multitasking Gestures for original iPad are added

— bugs with Documents in the Cloud are fixed

— voice recognition for Australian users using dictation is improved

We, at Intellectsoft , are always staying in tune with the latest technologies; therefore we already can work with the new iOS version.

However, things are not all so great with this new iOS 5.0.1. Hardly had Apple released the update, the users took to its support forums to complain that they were continuing to experience battery issues despite having downloaded the update and having reset their phones. The famous tech resource Mashable  conducted a poll, its results show that: 37% (3 772 votes) of respondents are still facing the same problems with the battery charge, 22% (2240 votes) claimed that the situation got worse, 14% (1424 votes) agreed that the problem was fixed and 26% (2 714) claim they have never had any battery issues (probably they have never had iOS-based devices either).

It’s peculiar that the recent complaints are similar at some extant to the ones made after upgrade to version 5. Apple claimed the problem was a software issue, and the iOS 5.0.1 update was issued to address it.

In their official statement to AllThingsD. Apple stated: “The recent iOS software update addressed many of the battery issues that some customers experienced on their iOS 5 devices. We continue to investigate a few remaining issues.”

There’s no doubt that Apple will keep improving its iOS and in time it will finally meet users’ expectations and will align with its sky-high price. The question is how soon will we be celebrating the event?

All in all, Intellectsoft wishes iOS users patience and reminds that from now on our brainy developers’ team can work with this iOS version (5.0.1).

The fourth-generation devices will most likely be armed with a dual-core graphics chip SGX543MP2, which is said to be four times more powerful than the currently used SGX535.

Apparently, the leap to the dual-core chip has the logical grounds of iPad 2’s resolution increase intended to be made up to 2048 x 1536. It will result in far better video processing and will enable the device to ensure a decent output of an HD-signal with its HDMI port.

Rumor or not, but they say that both devices can count on as much as an ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core processor, too. Suppose they have it – the overall efficiency of iPhone and iPad will shoot up.

The new iPad 2 is planned to be presented in April, and iPhone 5, which supposedly will be modified and redesigned greatly, will shock the audience in June. Moreover, iPhone 5 is predicted to have a multi-core processor. This will enable the device to perform most challenging computing and support sophisticated games and applications, as well as HD audio, image and video processing.

Which makes us think: isn’t iPhone’s progress going too quickly? And if it takes iPhone designers so little time to modify such a complicated device so quickly – why don’t we enjoy the same frequency PC upgrades?

The transition from 2010 to 2011 is less dramatic than the one coming next year said to be apocalyptic, so high-tech bets and predictions are more topical than ever.

One of the very few things forecasters agree on is the anticipation of the roughest tablet competition in the year of 2011.
The Android-powered devices are highly competitive these days, and most likely their popularity will mount greatly. Apple Inc., however, will retain its leadership according to the world’s best analysts.

It has been evident that, although implemented into a variety of business processes, tablets have still been used mostly for individual needs and entertainment. Therefore, it is now a matter of entertaining content for end users, as it is obvious that technically the devices are capable of doing pretty much every necessary thing nowadays. Application development race will definitely replace the hardware competition.

Gaming is the industry to be in. Pluggable into big screen plasma TVs, tablets are not attempting to replace play stations, but do require longer, more sophisticated games. So far Android developers have impressed users with games like Heavy Gunner, Dungeon Hunter, Crusade of Destiny and Need for Speed Shift. iPads are boasting a wave of HD games, like The Syndicate! HD and Guerrilla Bob HD, and both games are embodying the thorough awareness of the users’ need for original soundtracks, multiplayer support and cross-device playing.
The content originality, so vital for any device, is lifting the standards of the new tablets and is opening immense opportunities for development companies.

One can hardly eliminate the hardware aspect though. While smartphones are converging to size minimums, tablets are growing continuously. And we’re not talking about the iPad from London’s St. Pancras International Train Station that has 56 small devices placed side by side to transmit a kaleidoscopic picture. We’re talking about tablets with 12-inch screens, like Fujitsu DL Pad and larger ones.

And tablets are longing to be treated individually. It is no longer enough to modify slightly the phone operation systems.
The new year of 2011 will certainly surprise us with utmost features, and hopefully the radicalism will not go absurd.

According to the statistics, gathered by Jobs’ company, so far it has sold about 3 million gadgets which is quite a figure. Its closest competitor – Samsung’s Galaxy Pad – which Steve Jobs called “dead on arrival” announced about 600,000 of its devices sold or shipped in the first month of sales. Adding Dell’s Streak and HP’s Windows running tablet to the list we’ll get quite an impressive picture which signals that the war actions at the tablet market have already been unleashed.

It is quite evident that so far Apple’s iPad is winning is all spheres as the company managed to deliver an exceptionally quality device supported by powerful iPad application development process. Android tablets which either have already been delivered to the market or are yet to come this year have been a real disappointment. Some analysts and reviewers go as far as to call them hardly more than a piece of junk. The only exception to the rule is Samsung’s Galaxy – a hot something between a regular smartphone and a mini-tablet. And again it just comes close to the iPad but it’s not any better than the Apple’s device. Given it costs as much as the iPad and has a smaller screen, most users would prefer the fabulous gadget from Apple.

Windows tablets could have been a hit this year, as the OS is quite reliable and rather familiar for the majority of office workers. Unfortunately, due to some reasons HP was not a success this year. However, maybe it will be able to make another try before its closest competitors deliver their own gadgets.

To make a long story short, it is quite reasonable to wait for second generation tablets which are to come to the market next year and improve the shortcomings of the current devices. Or to buy an iPad if waiting seems to be that unbearable.
