    It works on Mac Safari, too. Just pull the page corner around and it fits to the window size.

    It's called responsive design - it's not unique, but it is an emerging trend for websites to automatically readjust their layout depending on resolution/size/orientation/pixel density in order to provide a better experience for visitors.

    Apple is typically on the cutting edge of this stuff, and there are various tidbits in their website that highlight these types of ideas and design philosophies - this one is just the most noticeable.

    Edit: It's platform agnostic, and dependent only on having a modern browser (Safari, Chrome, potentially mobile IE, Android's stock browser, likely others built on Webkit), though keep in mind that certain sizes of devices will be treated differently (i.e., the 3.5 inch iPod touch is treated differently than the 9.7 inch iPad, or even a Galaxy Nexus).

    As someone who is making a HTML 5 site, I can tell you that they most likely used the CSS attribute and definition "margin:0 auto;" on their table or div tag which has a percentage for its' width; that in turn causes it to be wider in landscape mode and thinner in portrait mode.
