Woodward, Bradlee guest star in WaPo iPad spot

The gorgeous splash screen of the Washington Post iPad app. ExxonMobil is the debut sponsor. Bob Woodward and Ben Bradlee come out from the rest home, so to speak, to guest star in a delightful commercial Washington Post produced to tout its new iPad app. 

Both newspaper veterans play their roles perfectly, with the 89-year-old Bradlee mentoring Woodward on needing to stay up with reader trends. 

As for the WaPo app itself? I've just downloaded it so can only comment based on about 15 minutes of usage but first impressions are that I'll be using it often. Love the social-media integration, especially.
