The Dossier

A different kind of iPad

A couple of days ago, my PixelPads came, and I’ve been sketching like a fiend ever since. I’ve spent a lot of time using various tools, including the excellent Balsamiq Mockups and the iPad clone iMockups, but nothing is as fast or as easy as using a pen and paper. Having something that perfectly matches the size and shape of the iPad really helps focus the mind.

If you’re developing iPad apps you really should order some of the iPad pads. The paper is thick and feels great to draw on, and the backing is firm so it doesn’t bend in your hands while you’re holding it.

I’m using mine right now to finalize the design of the new gift blocks that we’re planning for an upcoming release. :-)
