Zinio’s Android app, which has recently been unveiled for Honeycomb tablets, is no longer limited to select few markets. Rather, users from all around the world can now access and read various magazines from their phones and tablets.
The application requires that your device runs Android 2.2 or higher, meaning pretty much any smartphone or tablet bought this year will do the job just fine. If you’re in the “affected group,” grab Zinio today and enjoy 12 free magazines that come preloaded with the app. That should give you the idea what to expect from Zinio and if you like what you see/read, you can easily subscribe to keep receiving magazines.
My take on magazines on mobiles – even though modern smartphones rock big 4+ inch screens, I’m not sure I’m willing to read them on my phone. However, reading magazines on a tablet is completely different story, with all the additional screen estate you get. Then again, that’s just me – are you willing to read magazines on your phone?

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
