WordPress blogs in an optimized view on iPad

WordPress is the world's most popular blogging tool, with over 25 million users. The iPad is the world's most popular tablet device, with over 17 million shipped in 2010. What happens when you get these two popular kids together? Magic.
Automattic Inc, the company behind WordPress, announced a new iPad-optimized view for all WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress blogs. They've developed a new plugin in cooperation with Onswipe that provides iPad users with a special experience, featuring touch controls that provide navigation of WordPress blogs through swiping, rotation, and other gestures. The plugin even knows how to properly format content based on the orientation of the iPad.
As you can see in the screenshot at right, the iPad-optimized view displays posts in a visual grid, with individual posts readable with a tap. The plugin is entirely HTML5-compliant, and can be customized from the WordPress Dashboard to create a magazine-like cover page, display a logo on the cover, and choose from 9 different skins to match the overall theme of your site.
For WordPress.com users, the plugin is available with a touch. Self-hosted WordPress users just need to install the Onswipe plugin available here.
Automattic notes that WordPress.com is already seeing about 750,000 page views a day from iPad visitors, with the numbers rising rapidly.
