Any best practices for the iPad mini????

I am in the beginning stages of designing my mag for the iPad.... now the iPad mini seems to be all the hype and the latest news states that the mini may out sell the larger one.
So... I know that the dimensions are 1x1 on bumping down to the smaller screen... but what about font sizes? what about the experience? Anyone already ahead of the game?
I have my own answers to these questions, but any one out there have some best practice advice or links to some articles they find informative...

I think 18-pt body text is fine for the iPad 2 but too small for the iPad mini. Obviously, it depends on your design and which font you're using, but it seems like a good idea to bump up the font size a couple points to account for the smaller screen.
For the same reason, be careful with small buttons and small tap areas.
I've also noticed that for whatever reason, MSOs and scrollable frames in PNG/JPG articles look great on the iPad 2 but look slightly more pixelated on the iPad Mini. It might just be my imagination.
Make sure that you test your design on the Mini.

  • Are there any "Best Practices" for the setting of the variables in the magnus.conf file when configuring iWS4.1 ?

     

    The default values written to magnus.conf are suitable for most installations.
    If you are interested in tuning your web server for performance, the "Performance Tuning, Sizing, and Scaling Guide" at http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/enterprise.html

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

    Follow your build document for the same steps you used to build production.
    You should know where all your code is. You can use the deployment manager to export your configurations. Export customized files from MDS. Just follow the process again, and you will have a clean instance not containing production data.
    It only takes a lot of time if your client is lacking documentation or if you re not familiar with all the parts of the environment. What's 2-3 hours compared to all the issues you will run into if you copy databases or import/export schemas?

  • Best cover for an ipad mini and do you need a keyboard?

    best cover for an ipad mini and do you need a keyboard?

    If the iPad is unopened, and in the original box, then it comes with the full warranty. However, if it is used, and comes with an original box, it may or may not have the original warranty; if there's still some warranty left, the original seller should have transferred the warranty to you.

    The only way you can add to your warranty is by extending an Applecare contract.

  • Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than OUT?

    Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than VIDEO OUT? is for a student with visual impairment who needs to view the classroom digital board content from a very short distance, like the distance to an Ipad for example, so the Ipad would be ideal as an interactive monitor with typography and content easy to amplify.
    At the moment, this student has a traditional flat screen monitor taking over the table next to him, so no other child can seat in it, and he has no opportunity to befriend and sporadically joke with anybody else. So much for "inclusion".
    Please do let me know: [email protected]

    Speaking as a teacher ... Why can't he have a student on the other side of him?

    Please explain me the Consignment process in SAP??
    Thanx & Regards,
    Kumar Rayudu

    Hi Kumar,
    In order to have Consigment in SAP u need to have master data such as material master, vendor master and purchase inforecord of consignment type. U have to enter the item category k when u enter PO. The goods receipt post in vendor consignment stock will be non valuated.
    1. The intial steps starts with raising purchase order for the consignment item
    2. The vendor recieves the purchase order.
    3. GR happens for the consignment material.
    4. Stocks are recieved and placed under consignment stock.
    5. When ever we issue to prodn or if we transfer post(using mov 411) from consignment to own stock then liability occurs.
    6. Finally comes the settlement using mrko. You settle the amount for the goods which was consumed during a specific period.
    regards

    Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one, unless you just bought the iPad 2 in the past 14 days.

  • Do all the apps on the iPad work for the iPad mini?

    Do all the apps on the iPad work for the iPad mini?

    Hi
    Have you progressed your evidence based knowledge on this issue?
    I recently posted elsewhere:
    "I am very interested in this issue as I want an ipad for 7 months travel in Southern Africa and the particular app I want is Tracks4 Africa map app On App store it says "This app is designed for both iphone and ipad" and later on "Requires iOS4.3 or later." and "optimised for iphone 5"
    In emails with the developers their junior tech assistant says it is not compatible with an ipad mini with wi-fi.  My attempts to differentiate whether its compatible with an ipad mini running both wi-fi and mobile has fallen on deaf ears.
    Does the ipad mini offer 4.3?
    Could you understand why an app wouldn't be compatible with a wi-fi only app but would be ok on a wi-fi and mobile unit?"
    Thanks
    paul

  • Is the charging cord for the iPad 4 the same as the charging cord for the iPad mini?

    Is the charger for the iPad 4 the same as the charger for the iPad mini?

    You have 2 questions here.
    The actual cable is the same Lightning USB cable for all 3 current generation products. That is iPad Mini, iPad4 and iPhone 5. All the same.
    The charger, however, that comes with the Mini is the 5W charger. This is the same charger that comes with the iPhone 5. However the charger for the iPad 4 is the larger 12W charger.
    You can use the larger 12W charger to charge every other device, but the 5W charger will not correctly charge the iPad 4 as it requires more power than it can provide.
