iPad Update, Cross Platform Compatibility
Apr 13th
The iPad from Apple is an exciting new bit of kit – kind of a cross between a smartphone and a laptop.
The equipment has now been launched in the States, so us Brits are eagerly anticipating news of a release date here – there is a rumour going round that it could be the 26th April.
We are especially keen to get our hands on one as we are currently developing a number of iPad specific projects.
Nowadays it is important that businesses consider the range of different devices that can be used to access the web – does your existing website work as its meant to on an iPhone or Blackberry for example? What about on a 1080 HP high definition monitor – does the site look small and isolated in the middle of the screen? Perhaps your site might even appear differently on a Mac from a PC. In this situation, it is possible a percentage of your site visitors will not see your site as intended and this could reflect badly on the professionalism of your business.
We are experts in producing or converting sites so they appear correctly on any piece of equipment, through any software. If this interests you, why not give one of our team a call for a more detailed chat or some advice – 01253 297661.

The aim of this device is to provide a product in between the iPhone and a laptop in terms of mobility, performance and price.
By connecting through either WiFi or 3G (mobile broadband), iPad users will be able to surf the web on their gadget, controlling their navigation with touchscreen technology in a similar fashion to the existing iPhone – but on a larger and superior screen. There are a host of other features iPad users can access too – check out Apple’s site for more.

Twitter hijacked!
Dec 21st
Twitter went offline on Thursday after being subject to a DNS attack from a group calling themselves the Iranian Cyber Army.
The hijack redirected Twitterers to a defacement page depicting a flag.
Users were locked out from the site for over an hour whilst the issue was fixed.
Real-time search update
Dec 12th
This Thursday Yahoo unveiled its plans to launch a feature to integrate tweets into search results. This comes just days after our post highlighting Google’s own plans to integrate content from sources such as Twitter and blogs.
Microsoft’s Bing search already shows results from Twitter, but they are shown on a separate page rather than being integrated.
This news is yet another reason to get your social networking and social media presences setup and optimised to help your business get the most from the internet.
