CNN iPad App Released, Along With Bonus for iPhone Users

"It's a little late getting here, but today CNN introduced its iPad app. The app is free, and features a unique user interface custom-designed for the iPad's larger screen. Simultaneous with the iPad app's release, CNN is making its existing iPhone app free, and introducing live breaking news video to the international version."
Nice that they are both free apps, and the UI really looks familiar ie Flipboard and Pulse. But it seems to work and they have updated the app to include social networking capabilities to allow sharing of your favorite news stories. The one complaint from the article seems to be about the ads but it doesn't seem to take too much away from the stories so I can live with it. Besides, I'm not out any money if I don't like it so I can just delete it, no harm no foul.
