While consumers await the arrival of the first generation iPad on April 3, designers and developers have been working on apps in anticipation.

Here’s a list of free iPad templates and stencils that we’ve been using at Ideacodes to get you started:

iPad Stencil for Omnigraffle by iA

• Contains backgrounds, title bars, buttons, selectors, and other iPhone UI elements
• Text is fully editable on lists, title bars, buttons, and scroll wheels

iPad PSD GUI by Teehan + Lax

• The PSD was constructed using vectors, so it’s fully editable and scalable.
• The workable screen design is formatted to 768×1024 so anything you design in the Photoshop file can easily be brought over to the SDK.

iPhoneOS Design Stencil for iPad and iPhone by David Morford

• A stencil for designing iPhone OS applications for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices.
• Targeted at developers familiar with the default characteristics of views and controls provided by UIKit.
• The stencil shapes are all vector based.

iPad editable PSD by Kevin Andersson

• Every element you see is editable via vector masks.
• Everything is scaleable.

iPad Wireframe PSD by Neil Cowburn

• Minimal wireframe version of the iPad without the photorealism

iPad Icon Set by Chris Spooner

• The pack includes the full size graphic, as well as 256px, 128px and 64px icons sizes.

Printable iPad Template PDF by Arash Keshmirian

• The PDF is set up to print very closely to scale with a real iPad. Just make sure any options like “scale to media” are off, and the PDF is printed at 100%.

Software maker Adobe has announced a new set of Flash Platform Services, a group of tools that give Flash developers an easier way to build, deploy and track their apps on the social web’s various application platforms.

Adrian Ludwig, group manager for the Flash Platform, tells Webmonkey the new Flash Platform Services will “help app developers building on Facebook and other social networks reach a larger audience.” Ludwig also promises that the new components will make it easier for developers to manage and track their apps — who’s installing them and using them, and how often, for example — thanks to a clean, simple stats-tracking package.

When social networks first started rolling out their application platforms, it seemed like anyone could release an app and the viral nature of the social network would take care of the rest. But those days are long gone. Now, releasing an app on Facebook, MySpace or other social platforms now is like tossing a needle into a haystack.

This is the conundrum Adobe is hoping to solve. Using Flash Platform Services, designers get tools to speed common development tasks and automatically create elements like “share this” buttons, e-mail links and mobile delivery options. All of the new Flash Platform Services are component-based tools, so adding them to your application is just a matter of drag-and-drop. The components themselves are ActionScript libraries, so it’s easy to customize them, though Ludwig tells Webmonkey that everything should “just work” right out of the box.

The components themselves are free, but Adobe has a few extra, enhanced capabilities available on a pay-per-use basis. See Adobe’s website for details.

Also part of the announcement is a new partnership with Gigya, the widget distribution service, which will give developers access to usage statistics pulled from Gigya and displayed in a nice looking AIR application that will available as a separate download.

While its not part of today’s announcement, in the future Adobe plans to release more Flash Platform Services including a package named “Social” which will give developers a way to build write-once, run anywhere apps that work on all the major social networks.

So far Adobe has not set a time line for the Social Service, but the distribution and statics services are available for download today. If you’d like more details on how the new components work head over to Adobe download center.
