Digital-magazine publisher Zinio released an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch this week, meaning you can now read electronic editions of magazines on the go.
Zinio includes embedded videos in some magazine titles, links, article sharing, and other electronic facilities that print can’t match. Through Zinio, consumers can purchase individual issues and longer term subscriptions – from within the app.
The timing is interesting on the back of the wave of e-reader announcements last week and the much-hyped iSlate(?) from Apple set to launch later this month. Check out their launch video:
Zinio is a well established company which I have written about here before. They bring magazines to devices, eliminating the print channel.
