Cute new Media iPad aps

Some new exiting media apps came to the iPad these last days:
The PressReader app (free, paid-for content) offers digital editions of newspapers and magazines from around the world. You can flick through pages, zoom in to read them as they were printed, or bring up easier-on-the-eyes text versions of stories. For now you can even enjoy the content for free!

Zinio (free, paid-for content) similarly displays glossy magazines and has much the same functionality but with a slicker interface; crucially, it turns printed weblinks into interactive ones. A simple kind of app  - but they have a very extensive magazine collection  and even better: they will make my Zinio back catalog available on the iPad!

I loved the Wired app (£2.99), which adds iPad-only content to the magazine. Funny thing only is that some advertisers don't seem to get it and don't have interactive ads... (By The Way: ads... In a magazine you can easier skip those then on an iPad ;-) )

The Financial Times' app is an excellent  way to access (free for now) FT content.
