Hi all I was wondering if anyone's working on a tablet app for your 
library site that takes advantage of the tablet environment.  I'm not 
sure what that is and whether it's that different from a smart phone or 
full-sized computer, but I feel like it is.  I see some library apps in 
the Amazon store, but most of them are iterations of Boopsie software.  
They're OK, but it seems like they could do more.  I just have no idea 
what that "more" is.  What would an app specifically geared toward 
tablet architecture look like?  Would it have a level?  Could you land 
airplanes or launch angry birds at the reference desk?
