The first question that may come to mind when you think of iPad apps is possibly, "Why build those now, when the gadget has not been released yet?" You see, that is the reason you should hire iPad developers to get your apps developed now. That way, as soon as the iPad is launched, you will be able to upload your apps in the app store. With so many iPads being pre-ordered every day, you are sure to have a huge consumer base for your apps.

Having an iPad app built will get you two main advantages. These include the following:

Popular, mainstream platform

The platform of the iPad depends on the iPhone operating system; the same one that powers the iPhone. As such, iPhone developers will not need almost any additional training to develop apps for the iPad. All they have to do is increase the resolution of the app window, and they are all set. In fact, if you have had iPhone apps built in the past, you might want to have those ported to iPad as well. Since there are no new technologies to learn, the application development process will be real quick and hassle-free. Thus you can a whole library of apps ready at the cost of little investment.

Huge consumer base

The iTunes store has already sold close to 1 billion apps. It is not expected that the iPad store will fill up quickly. So you can take advantage of this by uploading as many apps in the store as possible. If you have even 10-12 good apps in the store, you are sure to get excellent returns over your investment. Besides, thanks to the new high resolution screen of the iPad, you can have highly detailed apps like interactive games built, which are sure to have good sales figures.
