The New York Times’ iPad app – NYTimes for iPad – has been updated today, to Version 2.5.3.

– Optimized for the iPad mini

Pretty impressive to see one of the US’ most prestigious newspapers updating their iPad app specifically for the iPad mini less than two weeks after the device’s release.

I’m not a frequent enough user of the NYTimes for iPad app to comment on how good, bad, or mediocre the update is – but it’s good to see the NYT giving some love to the iPad mini.
