iPad UI Concepts
11
Use the large iPad screen and new UI elements to give people access to more information in one
place. Although you don’t want to pack too much information into one screen, you also want to
prevent people from feeling that they must visit many different screens to find what they want.

“In different apps, touching a picture could produce any of the following 5 results:✦ Nothing happens✦ Enlarging the picture✦ Hyperlinking to a more detailed page about that item✦ Flipping the image to reveal additional pictures in the
same place (metaphorically, these new pictures are "on the back side" of the original picture)
✦ Popping up a set of navigation choices”Usability of iPad apps and Websites, Nielsen Norman Group.
