Last year we were fascinated with OnSwipe’s WordPress theme/plugin called “PadPressed” that made our WordPress blog look like an iPad optimized magazine viewer. We had our share of issues and frustration with it, but we thought it had a promising future.
Today Automattic announced that OnSwipe’s plugin/theme was being made available for WordPress.com hosted sites and that OnSwipe was now giving away the plugin for free for self hosted .org sites.
It’s interesting that this being listed as a plugin rather than a theme in the WP.org repository.
