Jetsetter's New iPad App is Even Dreamier | TechCrunch
I don’t own an iPad, but I’ve fooled around with one enough to know that it has the potential to not only change the way we access and interact with content, but in how we make transactions. Nowhere is this more needed than in the area of travel, where the online experience is a hellish mix of bad design, unreliable information, and “hope this will work” transactions.
Unsurprisingly, according to TechCrunch author Sarah Lacey, Jetsetter — which brought thoughtful design and good taste to the travel web experience — is poised to lead again with the introduction of its iPad app.
Jetsetter has just launched a new iPad app today and the device is the perfect showcase for what Jetsetter is great at — melding the line between transaction engine and glossy travel magazine. The navigation isn’t completely intuitive, but it doesn’t take too long to figure out. There aren’t tons of new features– the main one being a 360 degree view of several properties that really does make you feel like your standing there and looking up, down and all-around. Jetsetter adroitly makes use of the uniquenesses of the iPad like the intimate touch interface that mimics scrolling through a magazine, the lush screen, and the gyro-effect to use the iPad like a porthole to look around a room.
