Wow. People are already lining up designs ready for the iPad which hasn’t even been released yet. If you’d like a copy of the these PSDs, you can grab them right here [26megs].
Who’s going to develop the first major Ministry / Non-Profit / Church App for the iPad?
Let’s all prognosticate, shall we?

UPDATED! We’ve Got More Resources!
Hit the jump!
Nathan Edwards says
I’m sure youversion will be on the scene before long.
John Saddington says
agreed.
brianfalexander says
The Digerati team from Lifechurch.tv will be first on the scene, either with youversion or a lifechurch.tv app. Those guys are brilliant and are always developing something massively cool.
John Saddington says
we’ll see. i bet terry and his team are already thinking.
Chase says
John, it looks like something is wrong with the PSD download link.
John Saddington says
DOH!
John Saddington says
fixed!!!!!!
Phillip Gibb says
Pro Presenter control on the iPad – yay.
Sermon outline manager
John Saddington says
that would be awesome.
Phillip Gibb says
imagine my pastor or even Andy with an iPad on stage; ‘swiping’ his hand across to change pages then a wifi link used for the producer to send certain messages?
Scott Magdalein says
Aside from a really good Bible app, I think a powerful sermon app would be a hit. In fact, if someone created an app that’s a mix between what Seth Godin talks about here (http://goo.gl/7bVa) and something akin to the YouVersion Bible app, every pastor in America would salivate.
John Saddington says
i would buy it. sign me up.
dannyjbixby says
As Seth Godin said in that post, an app like that would be worth the $500 purchase price of an ipad.
I completely agree. And if it was integrated with padversion (get it?) or some other Bible app….
Bobby Shirley says
Stage Time would be cool as an iPad app! Here’s a link: http://tastefulworks.com/stage-time
John Saddington says
that would be pretty awesome!
Trey Boden says
Church management software would be pretty rocking. Being able to check-in kids, add information on the spot at welcome spaces, and easy immediate sign ups. I could be really killer… or maybe I am just geeking out…
John Saddington says
Hah! Geeking out
Jesse J. Anderson says
I just posted my own thoughts on this on my blog – How the iPad Will Change the Church. Created a real quick mockup of what I think could be a great iPad app for worship leaders.
You guys looking for guest article writers at all – I’d love to contribute if you are. 😉
John Saddington says
Yes, we are! Look for the link on the footer.
Sam says
My bet is that Mars Hill Seattle will be early on the scene. Ive heard logos is working on one.
I think Accordance would make a killer app.
John Saddington says
very true. they’ve done some neat stuff before.
youngdesign says
The Bible is a given, but I’d hope they draw inspiration from the iBook format of page flicking and layout… don’t just slaughter the whole screen with text.
Behind that- it will be interesting to watch the ProPresenter and sound console companies to see how creative they can get.
I’d also hope that if a sound company were to produce a high-end app, perhaps they could produce a ‘Lite’ version with 1 or 2 channels for the smaller churches?
youngdesign says
Also – I wouldn’t rely to heavily on that PSD. It’s been shown to be missing substantial elements, as well as entirely made-up ones.
Wait for v2.0.
John Saddington says
word!
james braselton says
