A few months back you may remember technology magazine @WIRED give a video demonstration of their upcoming interactive magazine for the Apple iPad. But due to Apple restricting @Adobe’s use of Flash on the platform, many were skeptical if the magazine would ever come to fruition.
Today, Apple enthusiasts @MacRumors are reporting the app is now available for download on the App Store.
But it didn’t get there by itself, WIRED had already given Adobe the material to code an app using their Flash technology, and explained that due to Apple’s own Flash restrictions, the company had to get Adobe to completely rewrite the app in Objective-C.
The tablet is our opportunity to make the Wired we always dreamed of. It has all the visual impact of paper, enhanced by interactive elements like video and animated infographics. We can offer you a history of Mars landings that lets you explore the red planet yourself. We can take you inside Trent Reznors recording studio and let you listen to snippets of his work in progress. And we can show you exactly how Pixar crafted each frame of its new movie, Toy Story 3.
WIRED is available from the App Store for just $4.99.
