The big promise of Newsstand was that new issues would be downloaded in the background, ready to be read when you turn your iPad on. Lots of titles are now included as part of Newsstand, but so far, I’ve yet to ever see any magazine that is built on the Adobe DPS tools automatically download [...]

I think I’ve already mentioned that I rather like the videos that GQ includes in its iPad edition — sometimes just some footage of a photo shoot, but more often than not an interview with the person featured in the article — and I must say they really outdid themselves with the latest issue (December [...]

Despite the Bloomberg Businessweek cover you see to the side, this is not a post to review said magazine (although it’s a review that I should have done ages ago, and I still plan on doing one). This is mostly a post to get rid of the GQ cover that has been on the front [...]

As the title says, and as per this post on MagCulture, the UK edition of GQ is going monthly on iPad. I’ve never read an issue yet — although I quite like the US edition of GQ, in terms of content — but from the video trailer below, it looks like they share some content, [...]

As I mentioned in the previous post, another bit of weirdness I recently experienced with the GQ app was when I started reading it before it had completed downloaded. One of the features I was actually very happy to see in the last update to the Adobe digital publishing tools (to the client app) was [...]

What the hell is wrong with the GQ app? Every single time I open it to continue reading the latest issue, it asks me if I want to restore my previous purchases (see the screen grab). No other Conde Nast app does that, so I’m assuming it’s some sort of bug, but why are they [...]

Not all of them, but rather to two of the three titles — Glamour, Vanity Fair, and GQ — that didn’t use the Adobe publishing tools that are used for other Conde Nast titles, like Wired and The New Yorker. The justificiation for the price hike — up to $5 from $3-4 — is that [...]

If the soon-to-relaunch Newsweek turns out to be like what is described below, we may be in for a fun new weekly read. “It’s not your Grandpa Jon’s magazine anymore,” said one staffer, who was pleased with the results on display, aiming a none-too-subtle dig at departed editor Jon Meacham. “It’s slick, contemporary and feels [...]

It’s Saturday evening, I’m at home relaxing on the couch, chilled beer at my side, flipping through my iPad, and I’m suddenly in the mood to read a new issue of something. I pop in the GQ app, buy the latest issue for $3. Instant satisfaction. This is exactly why publishers need to get on [...]
