NFB releases free iPad application

Last fall, the NFB launched an iPhone application. There's now a National Film Board iPad application that can be downloaded, free of charge, from the iTunes store or from the NFB download page. More than 1,000 NFB documentaries and animated shorts are available through this application. There are also 3-D and high-definition selections, a kids' channel (with both entertaining and educational content). The selection can be stored for up to 48 hours for viewing off-line.
