Tech: Want to throw away 50 bucks? Have WordPress? Click here

  • $50 to make your WordPress theme iPad friendly source
  • » Why is this pointless? Not to criticize the hard work of Jason Baptiste, who clearly put a lot of time into this, but it just seems weird to pay $50 for an iPad version of a WordPress site. Why? Because, unless you’re using a bunch of Flash, your site is already designed to work properly on an iPad. And the price … there just aren’t enough iPad users to justify it yet, unless you’re Mashable. Even this site, while it would be great to do this eventually … $50 just seems steep. This is something you launch six months from now, after the Christmas season builds a huge iPad audience. Not now. Sure, there’s room to experiment with the form some more, but the timing just feels off.
