Wired iPad App Sells 24,000 Copies in First 24 Hours

Is that good or not? Well it sounds pretty good to me at $4.99. But, bear in mind they have over 650,000 print subscribers. It will be interesting to see how it pans out in the coming weeks. It's just great to see a new content tool being used effectively.

Wired for the iPAD - This is just the start

The major publishing houses are beginning to launch the first IPAD versions of their magazines. The iPAD Wired Magazine came out today and it is very cool. Check it out in the Apple Store as a download. I do wonder if it is sustainable at $4,99 per issue but is very well written and produced. My subscription to the actual old fashioned issue (it's made of paper!) is only $12 per year. This is just the beginning of a major shift in the way we consume news and magazine content. And iPAD 2.0 is coming!
