Are you ready for the world’s most advanced mobile operating system?

The release of iOS 4 saw improvements to speed and functionality, as well as a host of new features, most notably multi-tasking and folders.

Multi-tasking, which is now available for iPad with the release of iOS Software update 4.2, easily takes you from one app to another without slowing down performance of the foreground app or draining the battery unnecessarily. Folders allows you to organize your apps in order to declutter your homepage and for fast access to your favorites.

With its easy-to-use interface, amazing features, and rock-solid stability, iOS remains years ahead of the competition.

Atimi’s adaptable, stable development framework enables it to capitalize on all that iOS 4 has to offer.

Sure to change within moments, listed are some iPhone 4 and iPad features to take advantage of.

Market As Of January 2011

As Apple iOS device sales top 160 million and App Store downloads exceed 10 billion; now more than ever companies can’t afford not having mobile media as part of their overall strategy. With the iPhone and iPad now available in 88 and 46 countries respectively; product and brand exposure through digital media has never been so broad or easily achievable.

People’s appetite for mobile devices isn’t letting up any time soon. In Apple’s 2011 Q1 report, 16.2 million iPhones were sold, representing an 86% increase over the same period last year. The iPad’s fourth-quarter sales totaled 7.3 million, a jump of 75% from the prior period, and the second consecutive quarter that the tablet has outsold apple’s Mac line

“With more than 10 billion apps downloaded in just two and a half years-a staggering seven billion apps in the last year alone-the App Store has surpassed our wildest dreams,"

"The App Store has revolutionized how software is created, distributed, discovered and sold. While others try to copy the App Store, it continues to offer developers and customers the most innovative experience on the planet."

- Philip Schiller, Apple Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing..

Why Atimi?

Atimi has specialized in Mac development since 2001 - we are Mac experts. Since Apple has put many of Mac OS X's core desktop technologies and services on the iPhone the similarities between OS X on the desktop and OS X on the iPhone are significant. We estimate that a large portion of the code used to develop an iPhone application could be reused to put that same application on the desktop, saving you time and money. Because of our extensive OS X background, we can leverage our expertise to help you make sure your application gets the most out of the iPhone's OS X technologies with the least amount of time and effort invested.
