Twitter has launched an HTML5 app for the iPad that will be rolling out in the next week or so.

Mashable has a photograph of the app showing a two-column display.

HTML5 apps, such as the one launched by the Financial Times in June, are web-based and hosted on a URL rather than available for download from Apple’s iTunes.
