The ABC Innovations team has been hard at work preparing its iPad specific app to coincide with the Australian launch of the tablet computer, and they invited CNET Australia into the offices at Aunty to work through the sexy new design.
The ABC iPad app will follow in the footsteps of the highly successful iPhone app produced in-house at the ABC, an app which has been downloaded over 720,000 times by Australian iPhone owners. The iPad app will serve a similar function as a tool for aggregating the wealth of ABC content, but the higher-resolution 9.7-inch display demanded a complete overhaul of the user interface, and offers new ways to interact with the content.
The ABC is planning to complete work on the app by early next week, so you can expect the app in store soon after, depending on how quickly Apple approves the submission.
The newly designed home screen launches with more content at the user's fingertips than possible on the iPhone.
