Wired Magazine has released their iPad app, which was a collaboration between Adobe and Wired. The app looks like a keeper. Watch the video above to see a great example of how magazines should behave in the digital world. Hopefully soon all publications will embrace these new technologies and give us content in this fresh, exciting way.

Downsides? Each issue will begin at $4.99/issue, and the inaugural issue is 500+mb in filesize. That’s a healthy chunk of the 16GB in the smallest iPad. For the print issue, you can get 12 issues (one year) of Wired for just $10. If you buy all 12 issues of the iPad version, it’s $60.

Download the Wired app in the App Store. You can see the editors’ letter introducing the app here.
