The New York Times has launched an experimental HTML5 web app specifically for viewing content on the iPad.
The web app has a few different features from the regular iPad app, including the ability to find out which articles are trending on Twitter and a continuous wire feed. It supports swipe gestures and orientation for portrait or landscape viewing.
The Verge theorizes that the newspaper launched the app to sidestep Apple's subscription fees, but NYT corporate communications manager Linda Zebian told the site that it was a push to get content across to all mobile platforms
