Wired Magazine for iPad Will Launch By Summer
href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://mashable.com/2010/02/13/wired-ipad/&service=bit.ly">Wired Magazine Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson showed off the
href="http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/02/ted-2010-wired-for-the-ipad-to-launch-by-summer/" target="_blank">iPad edition of Wired at the
href="http://mashable.com/tag/ted-2010">TED conference yesterday. He says it will be available by the summer; the
href="http://mashable.com/2010/01/27/ipad/">iPad itself is expected to launch in late March.
Back in November, Wired publisher Condé Naste
href="http://mashable.com/2009/11/19/wired-apple-tablet/">announced that it would be working on an edition of Wired for the Apple tablet before Apple even confirmed the existence of such a tablet. Other Condé Naste publications were expected to follow.
The announcement drew some ridicule since the iPad was just a rumor at the time, but it turns out the publisher wasn’t bluffing; Wired’s Creative Director Scott Dadich and Adobe’s Jeremy Clark have been working on the Wired iPad app for six months now.
The fruits of their labor: a digital version of the magazine on which you can flip horizantally to move between stories and vertically to read whatever story you’ve settled on. Rich media like expandable images, 360-degree ad views, and embedded videos are also part of the presentation.
While specific pricing hasn’t been announced, expect it to cost less than a subscription to the print version.
