In February this year Research Studios (Neville Brody’s Studio) told the world about the new visual language they had created for the BBC. There was a lot of buzz online about this for several months afterwards, however nothing seemed to materialise… until just recently. This year’s Glastonbury and Springwatch microsites on the BBC website seem to be adhering to the visual language and look great. Even if they do seem to break the rules a bit, but then what would designers do if they didn’t.

So the iPad is now available in the UK, I did the habitual trip to the Chapelfield Apple Store to smear my greasy little fingers over one in my lunch break. I’m very impressed by the product, it seemed larger than I expected and makes websites into something tactile at last, they really do sing on that backlit glossy display.

After a return visit and working through a series of websites that I work on, it made me realise how lazy I’ve been when it comes to keeping up with HTML5 and non-flash content (lets face it Flash Player is pretty much dead in the water now). So I’ve now been working back through my sites and making sure alternative content is available, even spent the time re-developing some applications in jQuery.
