Developer enthusiasm for Apple’s iPad has cooled somewhat because the tablet lacks multitasking and a camera, a company that makes cross-platform development tools said today.
Of the more than 1,000 developers surveyed by Appcelerator earlier this month, 80% said they plan to create an Apple media tablet application in the next year, according to Scott Schwarzhoff, the Mountain View, Calif. company’s head of marketing. In a similar poll taken two months ago, just before Apple CEO Steve Jobs stepped on stage to introduce the iPad, 90% had said they would build an iPad app in the next 12 months.
