Area 77

Adobe is publicly thinking about developing apps for the Apple iPad device. While I do love the Adobe Creative Suite family, I’m not too sure how I feel about the idea of them on the iPad.

How large will the apps be? The iPad comes in only 16, 32, or 64GB drive capacities, so probably really small, thus limiting the apps when it comes to functionality and usability. Many features and tools will most probably be excluded, and only the “essential” features will be available. But every designer has their own take on what is essential. Inconvenient problem.

I haven’t yet experienced a designing emergency that couldn’t wait until I’m back at the office. Also, a laptop is always present at client meetings in case on-the-spot changes or brainstorming is required. So I ask you, is having these limited apps on a limited mobile device really necessary?

Not for me.
