Shelf Magazine first issue is TODAY!!

Shelf Unbound, the literary magazine I am the kid contributor for, is printing releasing their digital magazine TODAY! The cool thing about the iPad is that a lot of magazines are now on the iPad. So, instead of going to the bookstore and buying a copy (gas, time, wasting paper) you can download an issue RIGHT NOW and ta-da!~ presto: you can start reading. I really want to read about the creepy doll in the photo above. Really. Yeah, I’m not really into skateboarding, but the photos are neat. I do like the ice cream photo and story (it it [ ... ]

Best magazine app yet! iPadKids love Zinio

Zinio for the iPad-this is possibly the COOLEST app I have on my iPad. Very likely. Almost certainly. Definitely. Zinio is an e-magazine website (www.zinio.com) where you can buy subscriptions to magazines. So what makes this so amazing? The sheer number of magazines available. You want it? Then you can be pretty much sure they have it. They have Rolling Stone, Smithsonian, Popular Mechanics, Elle, Reader’s Digest, National Geographic, iCreate (a spanish Apple magazine!!), The Economist, and my favorite: Mental Floss. There are all of those, and ridiculous amounts more. And they’re really not that expensive. Example: you can [ ... ]

Buy magazines on the iPad? They cost more. It’s worth it.

The iPad is destined to take over gaming such as NintendoDS, eBooks (goodbye Kindle), and now people are reading magazines on the iPad. World Domination or will we all keep duplicates…magazines, nintendos, Kindle readers??? Instead of  buying Sports Illustrated from your local Barnes and Noble you can download a digital issue on the iPad. I is fast, easy, and the digital version has special effects. You can click pages and get more in depth info. Or in Fortune Magazine’s issue they have a article called “Is Google Dead” and the Google logo melts into a puddle of mush. Girl’s Life is [ ... ]

Magazines on the iPad – GirlWorks (It is a girl’s world, after all)

Let’s face the facts: it really is a girl’s world. xP This magazine is really cool. It’s not your typical girl’s magazine with nothing but makeup and models wearing clothes that nobody will ever buy or wear. This magazine actually has interesting articles that still relate to girls. They have articles about girls in history (like Anne Frank), jobs that had previously been exclusive to men but now have a lot of women working in them, and lots of other randomly neat articles. (There was one article about the history of bras… =P It was actually really interesting haha) The [ ... ]

iPad: BOOM! POW! is it the end of real comics?

Is it the end of the printed comic book? I don’t think so. Just like magazines, people still like to hold them and roll them as they read it. But, it will be cool when the comics are advanced enough that you can touch a link and it tells you extra info about a character if you want to know more. Like, what if I could touch the invisible plane Wonder Woman flies? It could hyperlink me to a 3-d diagram of the cockpit of the inside, just like Wired Magazine did in the July iPad issue of real [ ... ]

Kids are the future iPad games, social network, education

by Julia Children today are able to play with almost any electronic you put in front of them. Toddlers play on PC games when they are two years old. Five year olds ask mom for the iPhone when driving so they can play a cute game. Tweens are counting the days until they turn 13 years old and can have a Facebook account. Twitter only makes sense to teenagers, lol. Teenagers are used to playing video games for the last six years. They started with Nintendo DS, GameCube, PlayStation, then the Xbox and Wii, now Xbox Live. Once they get their hands on [ ... ]
