I’ve noticed a somewhat annoying trend where iPad app designers are putting a “frame” around the content of their applications. Nobody did this on the iPhone because pixels were too precious, but it seems the iPad’s plethora of pixels are begging to be wasted. In all the cases below, the extra space could be used to show more information usefully. Articles seems to be the least annoying, but even so, the iPad is a real device that can sit on a real wood surface. No need to draw fake desks for me. Calculator, don’t get me started…
