I was just thinking this a few days ago while visiting United. It's absolutely horrific.

Honestly, the logo for your app could be a lot better. Design is a key element in how people decide to download your app. At least it is to me.

Hope that helps!

I've submitted a couple links recently, and they don't seem to show up in the New section when I log out. Have I been banned?

Re:What to expect from the iPad 3's Retina display on Thursday March 01, 2012 @01:03PM (#3653211)

If you read careful the first image says "so huge that current iPads can show just a fraction of the overall images in full scale. " The author says FULL SCALE. He's referring to 100% scale. Games with iPad 1/2 resolution will also look blurry when scaled up to fit on the iPad 3. This is exactly how it was on the iPhone.

Everything else seems correct, though. There will be more detail in same sized images, and 720p movies will take up much less space.
