Popular Science was the magazine I most looked forward to reading as a boy. I loved the long articles with colorful photographs and mockups of the sci-fi gadgets and toys I dreamed of owning. But as a man I have to admit my preference for geeky periodicals has shifted over to Wired. They share PopSci’s love of the infographic and glossy photo’s. They too embrace the future, which is why Wired magazine has opened their subscription model to include the digital medium.
Now you iPad users can leaf through the magazine like it was the paper edition and make use of the tremendous interactive features the magazine has to offer. Each page of Wired is customized for viewing on the iPad. Layout changes streamline the content for your iPad. While drop down content menus and cover navigation are designed to make exploring the content fluid and seamless.
The video below does more to extol the coolness factor of this app than my words could. Though I have to say as a long time late adopter of any tech, this is the first app that really has me excited about tablets. The digital media revolution is in full effect. Print is not dead. It’s just coming to life.
The Wired Magazine app is currently available in the App Store for $4.99 or at http://www.wired.com/app
