Hey, this is a side project Andres, Myself, and Armando put together over the past couple of months. Pretty much to scratch a need- we wanted our blogs to function like native iPad apps without writing the native iPad app (I've been writing more and Andres runs PulsoSocial). Armando has done some very cool things with touch technology and JS libraries. He'll be on a bit if you guys have questions on the tech end (he's also writing a more in depth tech post).

Job well done. I look forward to learning about the scripts that make it happen.

  Armando will publish an article on the tech details soon. =)

  Hopefully I'll be packaging some of the niceties as reusable libraries.

Looks really nice. I looked around the site but I couldn't see what the licence was for the WordPress plugin?

  PadPressed <3 GPL. Adding a blog post to clarify that later.

It looks like a cool project, but my experience with it wasn't really nice. I tried it on my iPad, after reading this post, and I still wasn't sure where/that I could drag to scroll the content, and that was after knowing it was made specifically for the iPad. It also had some problems with registering the touches, with the picture slide view at the top stopping responding halfway through. When viewing the posts themselves, everything was slow and the text rendered with glitches. Perhaps you're overdoing the effects? I think I'd prefer the normal website for now.

  Hey pieter, thanks for the feedback. We're still adjusting a lot of the sensitivity for the touch interactions. We did testing beforehand, but right now we're hoping enough set of feedback data points can tell us where to adjust things. We've thought about settings in the admin panel: sensitive, more sensitive, etc.
