via mashable:
“Our iPad-optimized view is app-like in its functionality, but pure HTML5 goodness on the backend,” said WordPress’s Nick Momrik in a blog post announcing the new feature. “It supports touch interactions, swiping, rotation and many other features of the iPad.”

The iPad optimization feature is also available as a WordPress plugin for anybody who runs a self-hosted WordPress.org blog.
