As many of you know, Apple is planning on releasing its Newsstand app this September as part of iOS’ radical system update to 5.0. Specifically tailored for digital periodicals, and with an in-built audience approaching 200 million users, Apple’s newest e-shop (iShop?) should prove a mammoth shot in the arm for established, underground, niche-specific, and indie newspapers and magazines everywhere. Naturally, we at AppAdvice intend to take full advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to bring you our newest project, AppAdvice Weekly Magazine . (And yes, that title is a placeholder for now.) Drastically different from the style and substance of our familiar website, AppAdvice Weekly Magazine has been developed to bridge the gaps between modern mobility, traditional industry trends, and the philosophical responsibilities of our hyper-connected future.
Though professionally concerned with Apple’s mobile offerings and general technological impact as a leading industrial stalwart, I happen to also be (to my undoubted financial detriment!) a considerable gadget fanatic and electronics collector. It is little surprise, then, that I love Nintendo’s wares nearly as much as my iDevice lineup. In fact, Nintendo’s original Game Boy was my first real introduction to the wonderful world of digital consumer entertainment; and, through the years, I’ve owned nearly every machine and first-party blockbuster the legendary outfit has released in the US market. Until just a couple of years ago, all indications were that Nintendo — though still managing small revolutions in the staid world of console gaming — was really padding its earnings with the brand’s overwhelming “portable” domination.
This is the big one, folks. We have over 150 apps and games for you to choose from, many of which are at historically low prices. Some of the highlights include Transformers: Dark of the Moon , Guitar Hero , Call of Duty: Zombies , Feed Me Oil HD , Monopoly for iPad , and Battleship for iPad . You can find the new sales at the top of each price break.
Apple has had a strong place on and off screen for over a decade. Audience members have been able to point out PowerBooks, iBooks, iPods, iPhones, and nearly any product. In more recent years, Apple has moved from their seat in the editing room with products like Final Cut Pro to writers, producers, directors, and artists utilizing Apple’s portable devices with non-Apple software applications.
