I think this is because the ipad has a larger screen and thus you need to have more features (and longer dev cycle) on it or it will look empty. There is also the expectation of higher quality apps. Fart and other junk apps probably don't work very well because of this and thus the total app number is much lower.
- glhaynes 16y agoYeah, absolutely. Fart apps make sense on the iPhone - it's something you always have with you and you can whip it out when you're with your friends and do some cute little gimmick that's deleted 2 minutes later after the $0.99 of value has been drained from it. iPad uses are for the most part much closer to a 'traditional computing' model.
- commieneko 16y agoFart apps for the iPhone: Big red button in the center of the screen that says "fart." Cost: $0.99. Fart apps for the iPad: An array of buttons labeled things like "squeeker" and "poot" and "low rumble" and "Shock and and Awe." Plus controls for volume, stereo center, and a time line editor for layering multi-channel, multi-event sequences. Cost: $4.99.
- kmfrk 16y agoI haven't seen an iPad yet, but I expect the design obligation to be much bigger; you can't slap something together with five default elements which already covers up 60% of the screen on an iPhone. iPad is a canvas to the user and the designer---and the letter is a big commitment. I don't think that there are any standard designs to iPad apps like with the iPhone.
