iPad 3 – My Thoughts

Being the owner of the iPad 1 and the iPad 2, I thought it was only appropriate to follow the launch of the iPad 3. The iPad 3 launch was brought to the public with high anticipation.

I had never tried my website on the iPad and the Android phone until after the DIG 2011 conference in London Ontario. Jeffery Zeldman and Derek Featherstone spoke on the importance of having your website visible on multiple devices and this struck home to me. Continue reading Websites Responsive to Screen Size
