A Minority Report iPad app for a major news corp?
Sometimes you can never underestimate just how stupid people are, and then there are recruitment people.
We were trawling through the job adverts from website Chinwag, when we came across an advert for “iPad Developer – News Corp (Propel London Ltd)” and our ears pricked up.
The advert was looking for a developer for a major news corporation, who will be responsible for creating a “Minority Report” type iPad app. And there in black and white were the details of the very latest iPad UX for this “News Corp” app. It will apparently have “drag and drop futuristic touch screen functionality with
live media and massive personalisation and intuitive UX all linked to social media.”
We wonder which newspaper it could be? Whoever it is, we’re looking forward to the app. The full details are below, and Matt Hawkes at Propel if you get anyone for the job we want our cut ;-)
