‘The Big Picture’ App for iPad and iPhone

My favorite photoblog, The Big Picture, now has universal app for iPad and iPhone. It’s version 2.0, which tells me the iPhone version has probably been out for some time and I didn’t even know it.

The two elements that have made The Big Picture a success over other photoblogs are the supersized photos and the inline placement of those photos, forgoing the traditional paginated view (which usually makes advertisers happier). With the iPad app, you get big photos but you lose the inline placement and the ability to quickly scan through all images. Instead, you have to swipe to the next photo — a very conventional interaction on iPad, but an interaction that counters what has made The Big Picture such a hit.

At the very least, I’d like to see an option that allows me to see all of the photos at once, e.g. grid/thumbnail view .
