Apple fanatics have taken a sigh of relief, finally seeing the long awaited iPad; now many are pondering the impact this will have on the market. Pre-cursor Windows driven tablets will hit the market earlier, but will they have the depth and functionality that Apple promises?

At this point many companies have begun the move to create iPad friendly applications, either updating from previous iPhone applications, or starting anew - in either case, companies are vying for that 'first to market' push.

Having been chosen to create three of the first one hundred Apple iPhone apps, Atimi has now been enlisted to bring firsts to the iPad marketplace. With several live commissioned projects currently in motion, Atimi is pleased to continue its tradition of constructing products of quality and innovation- but now for this highly anticipated device. Be on the look out for several Atimi built applications to hit the market by the time you get your hands on the iPad.

Mobile Marketer recently caught up with Atimi vice president Scott Michaels to get his take on Apple's mobile ecosystem and its potency in marketing to this global space:

“With this kind of growth, and the ability to measure the effectiveness of these campaigns so easily, and modify them if necessary, the whole idea of not being in this space means your competitors will be taking away brand loyalty from you,” - Scott Michaels excerpt from Mobile Marketer article
