It is important to get the designs right before creating successful iPhone / iPad applications. So it’s extremely useful to have ready Photoshop templates to give clients or your designers’ team to ensure they put the sizes and everything right. So here are some links for iPad User Interface graphic templates in PSD.
iPad GUI PSD templates

So here are these useful links:

  • iPad GUI PSD - from creator of famous iPhone’s GUI PSD template (we’re also using it), Jeoff Tihan;
  • iPad’s fully editable PSD, an alternative version by Kevin Anderson;
  • pack of iPhone and iPad icons templates from Cocoia which is helpful to be able to check how your icons will look exactly in iTunes and on device. The pack consists of (citing from Cocoia):
    - 512 pixels, iTunes Store style (Caution: very ugly. Talk to Apple about that, not me.)
    - 512 pixels, iPad style (either have different overlays. Who’d have thought?)
    - 512 pixels, iPhone style.
    - 72 pixels for iPad home screen.
    - 57 pixels for iPhone home screen.
    - 48 pixels for iPad Spotlight (with Spotlight background).
    - 29 pixels for iPad / iPhone Settings and iPhone Spotlight (with both backgrounds).
  • Just in case these files get lost we’re putting duplicates at our Google sites powered Knowledge Base along with our guide for clients about how to prepare graphics for iPhone / iPad apps:

    Unfortunately couldn’t upload the iPad GUI PSD from Jeoff Tihan (Google sites do not support attachments over 20Mb), hopefully you’ll still be able to get it from original source when you read this.

    Good luck in your development!

    As it was with iPhone SDK, Injoit is quick to learn new technologies and become proficient in them. Here is a short update from us about the industry’s most demanded technologies.

    Apple Tablet

    Apple tablet is going to be announced today (read more about this) so we have already agreed with some of our clients to port their apps to Apple Tablet as soon as it’s available. It should be based on iPhone OS so the porting would hopefully be just a matter of reworking pictures and coordinates in XML files and for some of our apps could be even done w/o our developers’ involvement, but.. with Apple, who knows? :)

    Amazon Kindle

    Our clients from US report that Kindle is massive over there but currently all we can do as developers is subscribe to the news and wait until its SDK is revealed. Hopefully it will be very soon, as they promise, in February. We will surely master the technology once it is out, so you may already place preliminary Amazon Kindle software development orders with us at this point.

    Android

    Again just to remind you, we are not all iPhone and also do professional development for other mobile devices and Android is one of our favorites. There are lots of differences between platforms, for example Android allows to access more of system features, collect more data, for example, for statistics. However, interface handling is more difficult in Android and we find when do iPhone to Android software porting that animations and transitions which were pretty easily implemented in iPhone SDK, require much more coding for Android.

    Our Android products are usually designed so that they are compatible with all Android devices starting from 2.0 and all screen resolutions.

    Resume

    So stay with Injoit, subscribe for our RSS/Twitter or better contact us directly to discuss your projects, and if you’re developer you know there are many possibilities for collaboration, and one of them is mob1serv.com iPhone/Android universal server side solution service we’re opening in February. Enjoy it!
