There are two types of apps development on iPad. One is native apps development which is play in native OS of iPad while another is web apps which is universal and can be used on another devices like iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, etc. If your native apps can not satisfy your particular needs then you are to going to develop web apps for iPad. For example, if you want to aggregate news on various news channels you may not find native apps which can aggregated news for you within five minutes at every one hour interval. You need to help of web technology like HTML5 and CSS3 to make such useful apps for you. When you are going to use existing technology on web you don't need to reinvent wheel every time and develop codes from using existing codes on the web.
Remember one thing that with web apps development you can not satisfy your all audience of iPad so you are to keep consider sizable audience for web apps development. Once you decide your target audience you have to keep consider their particular needs and assure that you fulfill their needs with your development. On this stage you can draw design in form of sketches or you can use Photoshop like software for this purpose. Remember that iPad is a good visual medium so spare your time to make design pretty well. You also remember to keep your web apps cross browser compatible so it can run on internet explorer as well as Mozilla and Safari. Your web apps can be run on cross platform means you can run web apps on iPad as well as iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, etc.
For cross platform compatible design you have to prepare fluid lay out which can be compatible with any device and in any mode. For iPad web apps development you need to keep resolutions at 1024X768 px. As it is native resolution of iPad. One important factor for iPad is that when you use accelerometer you can flip the sides of iPad from landscape to portrait mode and vice versa so keep this thing in your mind while you design web apps for iPad. Always not where you want scrolling to happen because scrolling need particular attention as mouse is absent and you are to scroll with your two fingers. This create some problem and scrolling may not happen as you expected. Don't afraid to use native GUI elements as they are greatly useful.
