Version 1.8.3 of the SDK Community app is pending review in the App Store. The most notable change is the full support for iPads in both landscape and portrait orientations. Everything that was available in the iPhone/iPod navigation view now also shows in the iPad's split view. Here are a couple pictures of how a blog looks:
In landscape, you have the full navigation group on the left and content on the right. By rotating the iPad into portrait display, the content becomes full screen.
UPDATE I noticed that not many members who downloaded the app have activated push alerts. To do so, you have to go into the My Settings area and turn on the switch. The device will them prompt you to accept, and you're good to go.
