I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but I’ve been having issues with subscriptions on iPad of late. Never mind the fact that all of the Conde Nast apps are constantly asking me with a pop-up window whether I want to “restore my purchases” every time I open the app, I’m getting other strange [...]

This is certainly not the kind of message you want to get when you try to access your digital issues on your iPad (see image on the left, from the Esquire app). It’s the first time I encounter an error message like this any of my magazine apps, so it may just be a result [...]

I’ve complained in the past about the fact that Esquire was continuing to release each new issue of its iPad edition as separate apps, and I’ve just noticed that they’ve finally released an app that allows in-app purchases. There is no subscription offer yet, but although the latest issue (May 2011) is $5, you can [...]

Nevermind the conflicting news on whether or not Hearst has gotten a special deal from Apple in terms of how to deal with subscriptions — I don’t think it did, as is reflected in this article’s update — but what bothers me is the following bit: The Hearst deal covers corresponding apps for Esquire, Popular [...]

If you’ve been following Seth Godin’s new Domino Project imprint — and if you’re interested in the future of publishing, then you really do need to pay attention — you’ve probably noticed something about the cover of the first planned release, Poke the Box: It has no text. Here’s how Godin defends that decision: The [...]

I know, I know, it seems like every time a new issue of Wired comes out on iPad I have something to say about it. But I think it’s fair to say that it is in fact the most influential iPad magazine out there right now, and so I think it’s rather important to pay [...]

Esquire has released three iPad editions so far (October, November, and December issues), and for the life of me I can’t understand whey they keep releasing them as separate apps. Even back when was Wired was forcing you to update the app to gain access to a new issue, it was still just that, an [...]

Remember the problems Esquire encountered this month in releasing its latest issue on iPad? Looks like as long as your content involves topless women that you can spin around 360 degrees, then Apple is A-OK with it — as seen in the amazing new feature included in The Sun‘s iPad app. (via Grids)

We’d been waiting for it for a while, and last week finally marked the release of the first iPad edition of Wired UK. I was especially interested in seeing what the team behind the UK spinoff would come up with in terms of layout and format — just how different or similar to the US [...]

The seventh issue of Steven Gregor’s excellent Gym Class Magazine is about to come out, and I’m very happy to have contributed to it in the form of a short interview with composer Shigeru Umebayashi (In the Mood for Love, House of Flying Daggers, A Single Man). The cover feature is an interview with legendary [...]
