If you look at the App store market, there have been no killer apps for the ipad for a long while. I mean, when was the last app as awesome as Paper by 53? The inability to make a living from the App Store has put the development of killer apps to a halt.
And on android, since there's less distinction between tablet and phone apps as there is on ios, there's very few tablet-only apps, so nothing really takes full advantage of the interactivity that is possible on a bigger screen.
Last nail in the coffin is ever-bigger phones.
I'm an ios developer by day, and i'm seeing less interest in ipad apps by clients. Most are now happy to simply scale up the phone version.
- zghst 12y agoI'm still not convinced on a bigger phone eating the iPad's lunch. The canvas on iPad has awesome potential, maybe one day someone will take advantage of it.
- amelius 12y agoPerhaps they can cooperate with a company like Wacom to allow the screen to be used as a drawing canvas for styluses with pressure/angle sensitivity etc.
- chubs 12y agoYou're right, it has awesome potential, and said potential has been realised in the past with apps such as Paper and Cook. But due to the race to the bottom in app prices, nobody can make a living out of the App Store any more (besides cheesy games) and thus we're seeing very few great apps any more.
