He loved the Urbanspoon iPhone app. The iPad app, not so much.

Someday I'll write up the story about the time we met in person. Yes, I too got yelled at by Steve Jobs.

That time is now, considering you just attracted an audience.

I'm not surprised Jobs said that. Looks like someone hit it with the ugly stick^H^H spoon.

I've been involved indirectly in the self catering accommodation industry for about 3 decades. (I grew up working in my mom's holiday letting agency in cape town) The percentage of revenue spent on marketing in the industry is staggering. 20% to 50% is common here in France and in South Africa in Cape Town which is highly competitive. Much of this goes to adwords these days. It's a very cash rich space so an amazing opportunity. Best of luck Adam and team!!

“I think the UI isn’t so good.” == "trashed"?

The most ironic part is that this new app's UI sucks as well. High res photos != UI

That was my first impression. But that's only one picture. Maybe the rest of the app looks better? Maybe the article writer only had access to an ugly one?

Still, if even one screen is ugly it's an ugly UI. and usually people publish the good looking parts. So I assume that the rest of the UI is even worse.

Steve Jobs did not trash his app. OP is either name-dropping or link-baiting.

"The iPad’s new “retina display” boasts a 2048-by-1536 resolution, a display that Joshua Topolsky of The Verge notes has a million more pixels than a HDTV."

Does this seem out of place in this article?

The article is about an iPad app that got released because of this new display on the new iPad. Seems spot on to put it in comparison to something most people is familiar, even if just to explain on what is special about it.

"The page you were looking for is not here." Is that supposed to be the joke?
