WattPad Announces App For PlayBook

Yesterday BlackBerry unveiled its plans for a new tablet computer called the PlayBook and since then it seems that all of the eReader app companies are getting into the action.

Kobo released a social eReading app for the new tablet, which is expected out in early 2011. Amazon announced their Kindle app for the tablet. And now eBook community site WattPad has their app ready to go.

The WattPad app for the iPad and the iPhone is often in the Top 10 free apps in the book category of the App Store. As of 2:35 PM ET today, the app is No. 7.

We’ll expect to see other tops reading apps like Barnes & Noble’s Nook app, Borders’s eReader app and Lexcycle’sStanza on there too.
