\"Audible<\/a>The Amazon-owned digital audiobook subscription site Audible is launching its first iPad app and is also releasing a new version of its iPhone app that will allow for some downloading over cellular networks.<\/p>\n

“More than 20 percent of Audible customers already use Audible\u2019s iPhone app on the iPad,\u201d Audible VP of Mobile Apps Ajay Arora said in a statement. The new iPad design is graphics-heavy, with a focus on audiobooks’ covers — it looks similar to the Kindle iPad app.<\/p>\n

Audible’s iPhone app is getting a redesign to make it consistent with the iPad version, and it also gets a couple new features: Users can sign in with their existing Amazon accounts rather than creating a separate Audible account, and they can now download up to 50 MB of an audiobook — which the company says translates to about three hours of listening time — over cellular networks. Previously, downloading was limited to Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n
