nerdgirl
April 12, 2010 at 2:00 pmYou forgot the greasy fingerprints.
Brandon Martinez
April 13, 2010 at 2:00 pmThat’s what it looks like on the library computers at school…
Trent Walton
April 13, 2010 at 2:00 pmThis is spot on… the first thing I thought about after tapping and swiping for only a few minutes.
Jason
April 13, 2010 at 2:00 pmHilarious… I look forward to the shiny smudged new look! :D
Nicole Bauer
April 13, 2010 at 2:00 pmHaha, that’s just great! Smudge Pad would have been the better name for the IPad.
Tanner
April 13, 2010 at 2:00 pmOkay… I stumbled away from this page without leaving a comment… And it took me to the page you used in this. I took it as a sign that if I didn’t come back here, something terrible would happen.
That is all.

tracernet
April 13, 2010 at 2:00 pmI thought you were really going to feature a new software or website that shows you something similar… gotta love the fingerprints…

Daniel Groves

James
April 20, 2010 at 2:00 pmI am inspired by the site and the comments to invest in a company that makes lcd wipes. As a hands on real estate investor, my first comment when I heard about the iPad was that I would smudge the screen.

April 22, 2010 at 2:00 pmvery nice looking layer appears exact ipad touched.
Kristof
April 23, 2010 at 2:00 pmThanks for pointing out such an insanely dumb design flaw. And kudos for providing the download. But I really don’t think designer’s should have to adjust their designs to compensate for the iPad’s misgivings. It’s bad enough we have to deal with IE, but now this?

April 23, 2010 at 2:00 pmHahahahaha
TIMMAAAYYYYYY
April 24, 2010 at 2:00 pmKristof, iPads are generally only used by professional engineers and designers so don’t bother about making your site compatible for iPads. I would worry more about making mobile versions.
Not to mention accessibility for handicapped viewers which so many sites just don’t bother with today :((
Zayelion
April 29, 2010 at 2:00 pmWow, so the ipad renders everything right? There should be a filter that randomly generates smug placement or is there a science to that? keyboard placement maybe.

Mobile Website Design
July 6, 2010 at 6:04 amI am so thankful for the growing trend in mobile web browsing. It has made it so easy to land new clients. Nobody else in my area is offering mobile website design to their customers (who are quickly becoming my customers).
