Video: The new Financial Times web app for iPad, iPhone

The new Financial Times have launched a new, faster, more complete web app for the iPad and iPhone which is available via your browser rather than from an app store.!

The new app has a number of benefits like:
– Web browser access – No download needed
– Automatic enhancements – No need to visit an app store for the latest version
– Reading offline – The latest edition is automatically stored for offline access
– Speed – Improved performance on most connections
– Greater range of content – Including video on iPhone

It employs a new Web technology standard called HTML5, which allows programmers to create a single application that can run on a variety of devices, including Apple’s iPhone and iPad, Google’s android phones system and the BlackBerry PlayBook, although the new app does not work on some versions of the devices.
