KidsMag Makes Halloween About More Than Just Candy With Their Special Edition Issue – iPad App Review

KidsMag Halloween Special EditionMy daughter is just turning 3 and this is the first year she really has a solid understanding of what’s about to go down on Halloween. She’s chosen her costume (a completely adorable Tigger suit) and at least 10 times a day asks me when she gets to put on Tigger and take her pail around to the neighbors saying “trick or treat” and gathering candy. She says the words, but I still get the impression she doesn’t fully understand just what will happen other than it involves candy and that is always a good thing in her books.

To celebrate Halloween, KidsMag has released a special edition issue of their popular iPad-based kids magazine, KidsMag.

Rolling Stone Owner Calls Magazines Rush to the iPad “Insanity”

There is no question that when Jann Wenner speaks, we all should listen. In fact, we likely already are in a manner of speaking given that many of us read at least one of the publications his media company is responsible for publishing, including Rolling Stone, Us Weekly and Men’s Journal. Known for his less than enthusiastic response to the power of the Internet, it may come as no surprise that he is less than supportive of the delivery of subscription magazine content to the iPad and other wireless devices.

Conde Nast jumped on the iPad bandwagon shortly after it was announced last year and quickly announced its plans for Wired, GQ, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and Glamour.  Prepared to offer digital editions of its popular magazines and take advantage of the iPad’s multimedia features, Conde Nast introduced a number of titles to the App Store the first few months the iPad was available.  Despite the best laid plans, things have not gone as well as expected, leading Conde to revise its market strategy.

According to a report on AdAge, Conde Nast plans to slow down the introduction of new titles, pushing many of them into the third or fourth quarter of this year or even early 2012.  One of Conde’s publishers says the company still plans to release its magazines on the iPad, but now do it more slowly.
