Oh god no.. Please don't go down the route of style over substance..
Why do so many apps feel they have to look like an old paper book or a wooden desk when the iPad offers so much more? Haven't they heard of progress, of actually using the tech to it's best effect?
To continually try and emulate low tech is like saying you'd rather cross the atlantic on a steam boat rather than a 777. Perhaps they'd rather have a witch doctor treat them with leeches rather than take an aspirin?
Ok, that's a silly example but the point is we have a cutting-edge touch screen ui and the potential for all sorts of new user experiences to make life easier so why the preoccupation with looking like outdated 'tech'..?
