The question of whether or not web-based businesses need to release iPad-optimized applications becomes murkier with the release of eBay for iPad (Free), an application distinct from the company’s earlier iPhone clients. eBay turns the screen into a heavily photographic listing browser, letting you search the site’s auctions with a pill-shaped search box, then refining results by category, price, and advanced criteria; in a neat touch, a yellow 2009-vintage iPhone/iPod touch slider lets you constrain prices for the listings by just pulling left and right to set minimum and maximum dollar amounts. There’s also a My eBay pulldown, allowing you to view tracked items, and of course, you can bid on items from the application. At least, some of them.
