SongBook iPad
As you would expect, we will have an iPad version of SongBook ready for release before the iPad is available for purchase. In the long run we plan on the iPad version being a mix of the features of SongBook Mac and of SongBook touch, but the initial release will build mainly on the user interface features of SongBook touch.
We have looked at the developer documentation, and there is the possibility of building a ‘universal’ application, which means a single application that runs on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. This will have the advantage of allowing existing users to migrate to the iPad using their existing SongBook license. The actual SDK for this has not been released yet, so we cannot see all the details, but at this stage,it is the path that we plan on going down. It also means that new users can purchase a single license and run SongBook on their iPad and iPhone.
The iPad brings exciting new user interface capabilities to the platform, but this will require a rethinking of the SongBook user interface. The most obvious improvement will be to reduce the usage of the list view for browsing music and move to a view similar to the SongBook Mac album art view. Full screen CoverFlow will also be worthwhile having. As time progresses we will firm up our plans for the new user interface ready for the release in about 60 days.
