Yahoo has released a revamped mobile web version of its popular mail service YahooMail, this time completely rewritten in HTML5. I am not a big YahooMail fan – yet, since I still have one account with them (a ’90s relic) I went and tested the darn thing. In short: ITS SLICK!
To access the service just fire up your iPad Safari and hit yahoomail.com – the service recognizes your OS and reroutes you to the updated web version rewritten for iPad in HTML5. As a matter of fact, the webpage transforms so much that you get a feeling that you are running an app, not a web page. This time Yahoo has gotten closer to its rivals Google and Apple (both already sport fancy mail apps/webmail clients)…
Of course this is just the first version, and we’ll be constantly iterating to add new features, improve performance, and make Yahoo! Mail for iPad the best it can possibly be.
Chris Anderson (Wired Magazine’s Editor in Chief) demoed the digital iPad edition of Wired Magazine at the TED 2010 conference yesterday. Here is what he had to say:
We think the tablet is the future of magazines. Flexibility in design, plus interactivity. (He’s holding the 3/10 issue of Wired Magazine.)
Also, Wired Magazine has a story on the subject (hit the link here).

TC demoed the device at the event.
I love the part when the TC guy asks about 3G and being able to use it as a phone. He asked like 3 times.
A short but nifty demo here:
