Not wishing to get left behind amid all the iPad fussing, Google has announced an experimental web UI for iPad and other tablet devices.

Taking cues from Apple’s own Mail for iPad, the webapp puts an inbox down the left side and displays messages on the right.

In the same post, Google’s Punit Soni reminds us that no matter how bad the Apple-Google relationship has been painted by the press, things are obviously going well enough for a number of Google products to be included by default on iPads out-of-the-box, namely: Google search inside Safari, YouTube, and Maps.

That doesn’t sound like two companies at war to me.
