Wired Magazine Digital Version – Now On iPad


This sets the standard for the future of magazines.
Wired magazine has released its iPad edition in the Apple iStore (converted by Adobe from Flash to Apple approved Objective-C).
The June iPad edition of Wired costs $4.99.
The App is a 527MB download.
It’s intended for ages 17 and up. (Note the terms of agreement when you download it.)
Chris Anderson, editor in chief of Wired, says this is what he has always dreamed of. “It has all of the visual impact of paper, enhanced by interactive elements like video and animated graphics.” “We can offer you a history of Mars landings that lets you explore the red planet yourself. We can take you inside Trent Reznor’s recording studio and let you listen to snippets of his work in progress. And we can show you exactly how Pixar rafted each frame of its new movie, Toy Story 3.”
Wired released a video showing off the features of the new digital magazine. (View above.)(The video is encoded in Adobe Flash thus unplayable on the iPad.)
Apple Insider has more on the inside story on how Wired was impacted by Apple’s decision not to support Adobe’s Flash.

CS5Announce
Adobe announces CS5 today with live online previews featuring Julianne Kost, Terry White, Greg Rewis, and Jason Levine.
Register for the event now.
Tune in at 8 am PDT.
CS5 has been described as Adobe’s “most significant upgrade ever.” That’s a real challenge to live up to – PS5 introduced color management – but it might just be true. Whatever the case, there’s no question that CS5 is a must upgrade.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 Sneak Peek – Puppet Warp


Russell Brown offers a sneak peak of Photoshop CS5’s new Puppet Warp feature. Initially, you might think you’re not interested in using a tool that can create such dramatic distortions. But give that a second thought. What would you do with a tool that can also create very subtle distortions that aren’t obvious but nonetheless compelling – straighten a bowed horizon, make one object lean towards another, reshape a face, etc.
Tune in tomorrow April 12 at 8am PDT for Adobe’s CS5 online announcement. Register now.
