Honestly, I don't find appealing the development of cross-platform web sites. In those cases you have to target the lowest common denominator better known as IE6 and you'll be doing practically the same that you've been doing the last 6+ years.

Besides being a good business opportunity, developing for PadPressed was incredibly fun and challenging in a way that no other website ever was. I got to use the latest technologies that a browser has to offer, like CSS3's transitions and animations and HTML5's new webSQL API (or whatever it's called).

You know? just the opportunity to completely ignore Internet Explorer makes it worthwhile. And the iPad is a very nice device even for non-development related stuff.
