Kayak releases updated and unified iPad and iPhone app, takes on TripIt

VentureBeat:

This is actually a major update that will turn Kayak‘s free iPhone app into a unified app optimized for all iOS devices, including the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The two-year-old standalone iPad app will be phased out, which means Kayak faces the tricky task of making sure all of its users switch to the new app.

Kayak’s app for the Mac OS X App Store is also fantastic. I wonder why more businesses do not offer apps for OS X in addition to iOS?

A big roadblock could be Apple’s lack of support for the Mac OS X App Store. Things would certainly change if being a “universal” app meant functionality on iPhone, iPad and OS X.

Maybe one day.
