German blog Touch-this.de has received some extra screenshots of IM+ for the iPad directly from Shape Services, which show more of the functionalities the developers are implementing in the upcoming new version.
Modal windows, popovers, icons in top toolbars, emoticons in keyboard. Sure they look good, but there are some elements (like the aforementioned icons) that really seem out of place and, most of all, not so easy to actually touch, due to the lack of spacing between them. It’s good to know that the developers are adopting the new UI standards for developing an iPad app, not just mimicking the old iPhone guidelines on a bigger screen.
