iCam XL? iPad iCam?

[smitha96]

Hi, any plans to create a version for the iPad?

And for the users out there, what would you want to see in an iPad version of the app?

Just curious,
Alex

We're interested in developing for the iPad, but we don't have any concrete plans for iPad specific features for iCam.  We'll probably support the iPad's native resolution so that it won't be stretched out and pixelated to fit in the iPad screen.  That hasn't been developed yet, so it may not be available on the first day iPads are delivered.

We'll need to get an idea of how many iPad users we have before we can decide how much effort to put into iPad specific development.

Ability to have more than 4 cams in the window might be cool too.

Not sure how you are counting people up, but, I would just like to see it ported over with the native resolution, not an iphone, or itouch owner. Pre-ordered an iPad.  I only have two webcams running, would not expand more than 1 more, so four is fine with me. More interested in alerts.  With OS 4.0 coming with multitasking, this makes this a much more useful app.

iCam would be amazing on the iPad.  I have not gotten one yet but I played with one this morning at the apple store and its increíble.

Id also really like to see this happen, at least what with we have on the iPhone but with hi-res graphics. iCam is one of my most used apps. One stipulation, please make it a universal app...

We made some minor changes to iSpy Cameras in order to optimize it for iPad, submitted it today and it was approved within less than 2 hours (absolutely mind-boggling since it used to take up to two weeks to hear a response) so we will probably start discussing how best to bring iCam to the iPad as well.

GREAT!!!

Would love to see this on the iPad.  I would gladly kick some more money towards this app if it supported iPad navigation, supported audio for live camera feeds, PTZ controls, etc.

There is going to be more interest in surveillance apps for iPad because of the larger screen, so hopefully iCam is the best one out there!

? It has audio for live cams?

I am planning to get an iPad as soon as they are available in Australia, so put me down for a DEFINITE purchase of the iPad version of the app...

Hi, do you an idea when you might release icam for the iPad? From the above, I see it is in the queue.  I am after the native resolution for the iPad more than anything. Just don't want to buy the iPhone/iTouch version, I don't own either, and then have to buy the iPad release.  thanks.

We don't have a definite date in mind, as we are going to be working on the next major update to the iCamSource first.
