Ars Technica just rolled out a slick new iPad app. He say made possible in partnership with IBM for supporting the Reader for iPad, and we hope you will enjoy version 1.0. In the rest of this column, we'll tell you about the app, explain some choices we made, and ask you to help spread the Ars goodness.
Ars Technica is the preferred choice of the modern IT professional and technology enthusiast. Access the latest technology news and information on the go from your iPad.
With this app you can already read Ars on your iPad via Safari, so why bake an iPad version? First, we think tablets are very cool and afford some innovative design choices. Our philosophy towards tablets is simple: they aren't desktop computers, and they aren't print magazines, so we needed to focus on what they do well, and avoid trying to make tablets into something they're not. The Ars Technica Reader for iPad is all about creating an intrusion-free reading experience that is clean, straightforward, and not overdesigned. The application was designed to be speedy, nimble, and relatively fast to sync.
The app's free (with ads) and lets you sync content for offline reading, so see more in iTunes
