Well, lets just say I’m looking forward to the view. The view of digital magazines on the iPhone 4 retina display.
The 960-by-640 backlit LCD display boasts a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution phone screen ever. – Apple
My interest in looking back to mobile magazine presentation especially in light of the excitement around tablet editions is that the resolution of the iPhone 4 will again bring out the best in the magazine mobile presentation UX. Improved resolution devices will continue to provide new design and layout capabilities based on magazine delivery medium.

I like the digital magazine newsstand specials I receive from Zinio. In addition to a brilliant digital issue feature in their magazine newsstand app, I receive good value magazine subscription deals each week.
Publishers do need options for ipad magazine editions. Perhaps not just magazine apps but other options such as the HTML5 option from Scribd which we may see as another presentation option.
With publishers’ budgets and resources fairly limited, online document marketplace Scribd hopes that instead of devoting the time and fees to working with major content design firms, magazines will simply let it create an HTML5 app for them in a matter of minutes. The only price: Scribd wants a share of the ad revenues.

Apps should deliver brand extension value and not just the latest digital or tablet magazine edition. What are your thoughts?
Have you updated your recommended Facebook settings lately. Today, Facebook prompted the notice to learn more about their new simple privacy controls including the recommended setting.
Recommended Facebook Settings
We offer a group of recommended settings as a default. You can think of “Everyone,” “Friends of Friends” and “Friends Only” as big buckets containing different groups of information. With our recommended settings, your information is distributed across all three buckets. “Everyone” contains status updates and information that people may want to share with a larger audience. “Friends of Friends” includes photos and videos of you, which are often relevant to friends of your friends. “Friends Only” includes all of your contact information and things that are only relevant to people you interact with directly.
What are your own “Recommended Facebook Settings?”
After reading my WIRED Magazine iPad Edition, I am more excited for the potential to make the magazine brand stand out as the premium audience connection and interaction tool for all media and marketing purposes.
The current iPad magazine editions are probably overpriced and take no circulation strategy into consideration, but they do show the promise of high quality content and unlimited content portability.
I’m looking forward to having Adobe share some of the other tools involved in addition to CS5 for the making of this tablet edition.
Previous experiments to bring the magazine experience to the Web via a browser have resulted in a static experience. With new reading paradigms like the WIRED Reader, readers are able to experience the design fidelity of a print magazine married with the interactivity of digital.
