iPod Touch / iPhone: Reading magazines on your device
By Danny Mendez
Zinio, a digital publishing company for magazines and books, announced a new service, which will allow Mobile OSX users to read a variety of free magazines on their iPod Touch and iPhone units.
Right now, the service is free, although it’s expected to go the subscription route. In order to access Zinio, simply point your iPhone or iPod Touch browser to http://www.Zinio.com/iPhone. As of this post, we were unable to access the site using an iPod Touch, but that is a common problem when designing sites for both devices. It’s likely this is only a temporary problem.
According to the press release, once you’re at the site, simply flick to scroll through various covers and tap an issue to start reading it. These magazines are exact replications of their print versions. Zinio also offers their selection for viewing on a regular computer.
Some of the magazines currently available include:
- American Photo
- Car & Driver
- Macworld
- Men’s Health
- Popular Mechanics
- Technology Review
- Woman’s Day
