Final Draft for iPad looking for Beta Testers!

Attention screenwriters! It appears the industry standard screenwriting app is on it’s way to the Apple’s new iPad.  And want to know the best news?  They’re already looking for beta testers!

Think you’ve got what it takes?  Well then, grab your bug zapper and head on over to the Final Draft iPad Beta Signup page.

Currently, there’s no indication of WHEN the beta will be launching.  After I signed up, I got this simple message:

Thanks for your interest in the Final Draft iPad application. You’ll hear back from us as soon as there’s more information on its availability.

Writing a screenplay on an iPad seems much more enjoyable than tapping away on an iPhone screen.  But, if you just can’t wait, check out Black Mana’s Screenplay for iPhone — it’s one of our favorites.

We’ll let you know as soon as we’re accepted to the Final Draft beta… if we’re accepted. Fingers and toes crossed!
