iStack for iPad

You may have noticed that I started iStack (boringest name ever don't you think ;)) but it never got anywhere especially as Six to Eight is much better than I could ever make iStack.

However I decided to try out iPad apps and, much like the first iStack, I'm doing purely for education (Ie I'm making it to learn about objective-c programming etc) and should anything come out of it that will be a bonus.

I realise that because the iPad has such a large screen there probably isn't any need for an app based on the API, especially as v2.0 is coming out anytime soon and there's no write access. But as I said before it's educational.

My plan is to have 3 columns (Landscape only) each column is stackSite, so you see questions from your 3 favourite stacksites on the first page, then after tapping a question the other 2 columns slide out and you get the question. This I've already implemented, but it's not much use of the API.

So what other features would you look for in an iPad app (if any ;) )

(btw, one thing I noticed with iStack, is that I got too tied up with design at the start, to begin with I won't care much about the design but those suggestions are welcome too)
