Soon after the iPad has started shipping, Apple released the new version of its iPhone SDK for all the budding iPad app developers.
Interesting Features in this SDK include:
- Many features in the OS does not support the iPhone or iPod Touch and will run only on the iPad.
- The SDK will allow a video output to an external display using the dock connector.
- The OS has new rich text support in UITextInput that allows different fonts, sizes and more.
- As already know, the OS does not support multitasking.
- The OS will support file sharing in a shared directory that can be mounted on your PC or Mac. The assumption is that it is there to support working with iWork documents.
- The SDK will support the creation of a new category of “Universal” apps that support the iPad or iPhone and iPod Touch.
This SDK includes the Xcode IDE, iPhone Simulator, and a suite of additional tools for developing applications for iPad and can downloaded for free from here. However do note that you have to be running OS X operating system to develop the apps and a member of Apple’s Developer Program to directly run applications on your device.
