Aesop’s Fables iPad App by OMNiON
OMNiON brings you the all-time classic book – Aesop’s Fables or the Aesopica – with new, original illustrations by our in-house illustrators & designers for the mobile tablet medium. Fables belong essentially to the oral tradition; they survive by being remembered and then retold in one’s own words. Due to the extensive effort involved in creating the illustrations for Aesop’s Fables, we are releasing them as different apps, starting with Volumes 1, 2 & 3.
History of Aesop’s Fables
Aesop’s Fables is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a story-teller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 560 BC. The main impetus behind the translation of large collections of fables attributed to Aesop and translated into European languages came from an early printed publication in Germany. There had been many small selections in various languages during the Middle Ages but the first attempt at an exhaustive edition was made by Heinrich Steinhőwel in his Esopus, published c.1476. This contained both Latin versions and German translations and also included a translation of Rinuccio da Castiglione (or d’Arezzo)’s version from the Greek of a life of Aesop (1448).
Some 156 fables appear, collected from Romulus, Avianus and other sources, accompanied by a commentarial preface and moralising conclusion, and 205 woodcuts. Translations or versions based on Steinhöwel’s book followed shortly in Italy (1479), France (1480) and England (the Caxton edition of 1484) and were many times reprinted before the turn of the century. The Spanish version of 1489, La vida del Ysopet con sus fabulas hystoriadas was equally successful and often reprinted in both the Old and New World through three centuries.
The first printed version of Aesop’s Fables in English was published on March 26, 1484 by William Caxton. OMNiON has used Heinrich Steinhőwel’s illustrations as inspirations to create our own versions of illustrations for Aesop’s Fables. We hope you enjoy it, and look forward to receiving your valuable feedback.
Aesop & Indian traditions
Aesop’s fables and the Indian tradition as represented by the Buddhist Jataka Tales and the Hindu Panchatantra share about a dozen tales in common although often widely differing in detail. There is therefore some debate over whether the Greeks learned these fables from Indian storytellers or the other way, or if the influences were mutual.

iOS Apps – iPad & iPhone Development
iPad is arguably the most popular device in the tablet sector, the fastest selling gadget ever, and Apple’s iOS is the acknowledged leader in tablet sales with an estimated 61% of sales in 2012. On the downside, there is a lot of noise in the iOS world. With more than 500,000 apps for iPhone and 200,000 for iPad, your app faces some major challenges getting noticed. If you want developers for creating iPad/iPhone applications then this is the right place for you! We can produce your best selling, feature-rich apps and games on budget and on time.
iOS/iPAds Marketing Apps
With Apple’s iAd Platform, open standards like HTML5 and compatible HTML5-based ad formats will have a major impact on the future of the mobile ad industry. One of the key issues in extending desktop marketing campaigns to mobile is dealing with diverging technologies. HTML can be downloaded from an ad server and displayed on the web and the ability of apps to render HTML is important. Android and iOS support HTML5, and soon all major mobile platforms will follow suit.
The iPad apps for The Wall Street Journal and Popular Mechanics use HTML5 exclusively for their advertisers.
