Ahhh. The world of small sprogs is unknown to me.

I put the thing on. There were a few tiny bubbles. It wasn't quite as responsive. Looked crap basically.

Don't regret taking that thing off. Like I said not a tiny scratch on mine in 3+ months or so.

Did anyone else here think GG was still talking about (how to) not having kids...

But (no pun) then I did just come from the 'I dreamed' thread.

Does that mean you have to pay for each app TWICE?

Well, it's not quite as simple as that.

You can use most iphone apps on the ipad.
That costs nothing extra. If you have bought the iphone app, then you pay no more to use it on the ipad.
You either choose to use it the same size so the app appears in the middle of the big ipad screen, exactly the same size as it is on the iphone, or you can 2X magnify it. However this as you might expect makes it look 'less than HD'.

Some apps have separate ipad versions that are made just for the ipad. You sometimes have to pay separately for those.

But what exactly is unreasonable about that?

The new ipad version doesn't just popup out of nowhere. It costs the developers money to, er, develop it.

It seems totally reasonable to me that they charge for them if they so wish.

Do you spend weeks/months working on a work project and then give it away?

sometimes there are 2 versions. 1 for Iphone, 1 for Ipad, often at different prices.

Yes as I said.
And what is wrong with the ipad version, usually requiring more work due to the size and specs, costing more?
