APEX

Hi,

I'm a French APEX freelance. I have a blog about it and recently, I've wrote a post from a simple question: "Do you imagine developing APEX applications with an iPad?".
Actually, I thought a lot about it since the iPad is released in the US and very soon in the other countries.

You can read this post here if you speak French: http://romain.lazzarotto.fr/veille-technologique-oracle-apex/oracle-apex-sur-lipad/

or here with the Google translation: http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http://romain.lazzarotto.fr/veille-technologique-oracle-apex/oracle-apex-sur-lipad/&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1&usg=ALkJrhgxLCmbOqmasvYOnXF4AVoT9voIOw

As database management and application development can be done 100% with a simple Web browser, why not doing that with an iPad?
It would bring so much mobility, and enable developers to have a better development experience, from anywhere with a 3G or Wi-Fi connection.

Most of all, what would you think about a dedicated iPad app? Imagine something very innovative with touch interfaces, which would enable you to manage regions, elements and buttons that way.
APEX has already some very nice UI features such as Query Builder to develop SQL requests without any coding, or drag and drop elements. I'm wondering how it could be extended to other features and used on such devices?
Oracle already developed some iPhone apps (available here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/oracle-usa-inc/id284793707).

Do you think that an APEX app for the iPad (and other future similar devices) would be relevant?

With this post, I want to point out this idea and get feedback from the community, so feel free to share your opinion.

Have fun with APEX,
Romain.
