Articulate on iPads?
Hi Team,
Was wondering how you plan to deal with the increasing amount of iPad users. I know that in my company they are running pilots with them but my Articulate courses won't run on them :( Are you looking into a Publish for iPad or other solution like publishing a course to HMTL5 or something like that?

Besides the Articulate staff working their tails off (and doing great work BTW), there's been quite a few beta testers who have been pounding hard on the product, devoting a lot of their time to helping Articulate realize Storyline, some of us since early July.
I can appreciate how frustrated some folks might be tempted to be because they can't see what's going on behind the veil of beta testing. However, a potential game changing product of this nature takes time to get right for the first version, IMVHO.
Rather than get upset for how long it's taken--I'd advocate instead appreciating the fact that Articulate wants to produce the highest quality product possible from the start and is taking the time to do it right.
This is not easy work. The difficult takes some time and the miraculous takes just a little longer.
nicely said Gerry, always more articulate than me!Thanks for the kind words, Gerry! I'm really excited about Storyline and the next version of Studio and I understand impatience. I have a perfectly good iPad 2 I'll probably sell on ebay when the new one comes out.
Can I just support what Gerry said.
I think the people who are advocating for an earlier release date will be the same people complaining the loudest if there is a bug in the final release. Please make sure the final release of SL is bullet proof.
Cheers

Where's Soryline? How do I get it? Over 40% of my clients are moving to iPads this year! Need a solutions A.S.A.P.!
Out of interest, does anyone have any feedback / comments on uptake of "other" tablets? Y'know those Androidy ones? There was a huge broohaha here in Australia where Samsung couldn't sell the Galaxy 10.1 due to an "iSuit" but that has been resolved. Acer has a grunty Android version and one that runs W7. But there does not seem to be the same uptake yet in the way that Samsung (particularly) and HTC have grabbed the smartphone market.In some respects it could almost be cheaper to give away an Android tab with a killer app on it to get the traction that is necessary. Then developers could actually work on getting HTML5 right rather than having it shoved down our throats without a common standard and we could work with Flash (shock horror) as well.
Not really on this thread but I suspect that HTML5 is one of the big bottlenecks that is slowing down the release of SL1.0
Just sayin'.

I love my Galaxy 10.1 we have barely touched the iPad since we got it.
Sometimes it still has the feel of not being completely polished.. hard to put your finger on it. But in most aspects it is great.
What about articulate on android tablets? how does the development of projects using stroryline etc look on the on other tablets. There is a big intake in Universites adopting other tablets
Future versions of our products will publish HTML5 output which is supported on Android tablets.
works great on my android tablet and my google tv
Sounds all good cheers.......google tv? not jealous at all!!
ANdroid is flash freindly. Bring on Storyline. MP4 videos only go so far in training.
