Figment iPad Application Recommendations In considering the most effective use of the iPad for Figment, Mission Data

recommends an approach that closely aligns with the Read. Write. Connect. tag phrase representative of the value of Figment overall. Below we have outlined functionality to each tag phrase element in what we consider logical combinations from a user experience and a technical perspective. It should be noted that the wrapped functionality reects the Figment website elements that will be incorporated into the iPad application as a means of ensuring the app provides full functionality. Although it would be great if these could all be done at once, we strongly recommend that the initial iPad application focus on reading. Practically, reading is essential to writing and to Figment. An excellent reading experience will be core to Figments iPad app allowing existing users a great way to enjoy others writing and new users a fantastic rst impression of Figment. The next step is for us to discuss and provide color on the concepts outlined below. In that discussion we can explain which items can be done a la carte and which need to be accomplished as a unit. In terms of time to deliver, the full set of functionality (read, write and connect) will require about three to four months of time. The time required for designing and developing a subset of the functionality (e.g., Reading and the Wrapped Functionality) would require substantially less. The outline shows our estimates for each major subset. However, the required time for completing them in combination (e.g., Read plus Wrapper) will likely be less than if done individually.
