CssPad - an iPad made with CSS using Quplo

If you can "prototype" an app in HTML/CSS for an iPad it makes me wonder why one would rewrite it in Objective-C in the first place.

Apple's SDK comes with iPhone Simulator.app that — despite the name — is also a full iPad simulator with Mobile Safari.<p>Besides, "You can make CSS images with rounded corners!" is getting old. Author even failed to put <i>standard</i> properties that would make it work in Opera and IE9.

How does it handle absolute positioning? scrolling?<p>Firebug to the rescue:<p>- absolute positioning works great<p>- content overflows (so it still needs some scrolling solution)

I think it would be a little more impressive if the time was correct when viewed. Otherwise, nice job.

no harm intended, but this is really just 3 well used css3 properties (ok, so one's a function)

"as HTML and CSS are an ideal and flexible way to prototype"<p>They are <i>a</i> way to prototype. And sure, they may be <i>more</i> flexible than writing Objective-C. But they are far from ideal or even reasonably flexible.
