Kobo readying iPad specific application

Kobo's blog announces the development of their application for the iPad (they already have an iPhone version). Available in 60 times, which would mean available as the first iPads ship to consumers, it will be interesting to see how the eBook landscape evolves for Apple and it's users.

Will users flock to Apple's application and store because it's there, or will Kobo find a significant market share?

Kobo seems to have a good position in the battle, with books that are shaping up to be more affordable than Apple's variants, and the added benefit of also working on many dedicated eReaders and other mobile phone platforms.
