nice, any reason that you chose to deploy on an iPad app vs. a normal web app?

  Just wanted the experience of developing an iPad/iOS device. I've done a lot of web apps but this was my first tablet app. The UX considerations are different and very interesting.

    Would love to learn more about the UX considerations given that you've done everything from iOS to Flex.

      Sure. For one, you touch with your finger and not with a mouse cursor. I wanted the whole app to be in view unlike a web app that could scroll down on and on. Also, you want to let your users hold the device however they want so you have to design for different orientations. When designing a web page, you have more flexibility as to where you put your buttons. I originally laid out my buttons very different and realized my hands were moving all over when using the app. Now it's laid out so that most everything is w/i reach if you hold the ipad with both your hands and use your thumbs to navigate.
