The Times has launched an iPad edition in time for today's UK launch of the device and just days after launching its new, paywall-ready website .

The iPad app will allow users to download and read Times content offline and have a particular emphasis on interactive graphics, picture galleries and video, says an article on the old Times website .

It will cost £9.99 for a 28-day subscription – a significantly different pricing structure from the soon-to-be-launched paywall for the new Times and Sunday Times websites. Access to the newspapers' websites will cost £1 a day or £2 for a week or come free with a print subscription, but no mention is made of a payment plan for using the iPad app and accessing the paywalled websites through the device.

"The Times' iPad application is an optimised, edited edition specifically for the iPad - including most sections of the paper - which can be downloaded and read offline. It is a separate product from thetimes.co.uk, which is why it is priced differently - so readers can choose whether they want to read The Times in a print, online or iPad format," a spokeswoman for the Times told Journalism.co.uk.

Speaking at a pre-launch event for the new websites, Sunday Times executive editor Tristan Davies said an iPad app for the Sunday Times was also being looked at.
