A full-color guide to designing cutting-edge Web sites for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch!
Apple’s touchscreen iOS devices have created worldwide techno-lust, and a hot new market out of thin air. iPads and iPhones are so in demand they outsell every other device in their category.

Author Janine Warner explains why designing “above the fold” is not the best strategy anymore, and why you should create websites that look great in both Portrait and Landscape views on the iPad & iPhone.
