Kerry Posted 6April, 2010 Report Share Posted 6April, 2010 You know when "She Who Shall Be..." is in fittingroom for the 19th time, and you're standing around with nothing to do... SHAZAM! TOTAL911 on your iPhone! I like the way this technology is going! $2.49 for the app', 1st issue free, and then $5.99 per issue after that. OK, no substitute for ink & paper, but it sure does solve the "I've just sat down for a quiet read, and damn, I forgot me magazine! " problem, if you know what I mean?!?! (pre-supposing that your phone is always in your pocket, and glasses!) Nice work Phil! Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 6April, 2010 Report Share Posted 6April, 2010 Thats pretty awesome. I wonder if they will come up with an APP for those of us stubborn or stupid enough, not sure which category I would be in,to stay with windows mobile.

Kerry Posted 6April, 2010 Author Report Share Posted 6April, 2010 Now, now Chris, only you can answer that little question... I ain't getting into that debate.... - other than to say Macs rool, PCs drool! Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 6April, 2010 Report Share Posted 6April, 2010 Ok Ok. Everyone at work told me to get an Iphone but the HTC HD2 looked awesome. Actually it is I love it but just the apps thing. Oh well cannot have everything. Cheers C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJH911 Posted 12April, 2010 Report Share Posted 12April, 2010 I am a techie guy, I have an iPhone and I am a Mac devotee BUT I still can't bring myself to pay for online-delivered magazine content. Or music for that matter. I really want the glossy, smell of newsprint / ink / whatever chemicals. And I like the form factor of an A4 thingy to flick through. For some strange reason, reading on a laptop seems harder on the eyes and the brain than skimming a mag, eating a burger or whatever. Perhaps I am just weird. And I am sure my wife would be 'a bit unhappy' if, after working on the desktop all day, I surfed the internet from the couch while watching TV in the evening, then I started reading, even Porsche stuff, on my iPhone in bed! Perhaps the new iPad might sway me... Even dinosaurs have to evolve or perish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 12April, 2010 Report Share Posted 12April, 2010 I'm with you. I find it really difficult to read too much on the PC even though I am staring at it most of the day... I always enjoy flicking through a magazine, not sure how the Ipad, e readers will take off but mags for me too!! Cheers chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted 12April, 2010 Author Report Share Posted 12April, 2010 Yes, the old paper and ink, I don't think the magazine publishers have too much to worry about losing this medium any time soon (also considering Australia has one of the highest, if not the highest, consumption of magazine per capita), and it is a pain in the butt trying to read that little script on a iPhone screen, but you guys don't seem to remember... I'm a photographer - we ONLY look at the pictures!! AnneMaree has her eyes set on an iPad so I'll report back on that one later. You still have to remember to take the it with you to the couch/hammock/loo/bed etc... How many of us have our phone in our pockets throughout the day? I think it does have a place in our over information filled days - your back pocket! Kerry Still, since downloading the first free issue, have I read it? Nup! But it is there if I need to....

witho Posted 13April, 2010 Report Share Posted 13April, 2010 I've had the ap for a while and hadn't really used it until I made the mistake of walking past the ladies shoe department of Myer Southland last Sunday. I had time to download the latest magazine and read for a half hour or so. It beat sitting around doing nothing while the boss tried on various pairs of shoes. Regards, Roy.
