Magstand for iPhone
What's it all about?
Magstand intends to run a version of our software on your iPhone, enabling you to manage your content, your metrics, and more.
Right, but what does that mean?
Well, forgive us if we're a bit vague, but porting over such a huge network of content and searches into such a tiny (albeit
powerful) device takes a lot of work.
Starting from the most basic tool, Magstand will let you view all the subscribed content you already own.
Next, you'll be able to search upon that content just like you can on the desktop version (and your iPhone searches will always sync
with the desktop!).
Finally, based on the metrics (what we're calling "how you use Magstand over time"), you'll be able to select new content with the
same confidence you can from the desktop!
I'm sold, so when?
Isn't that the million-dollar question! We'll let you know, but we wouldn't expect the iPhone version to be very strong until the desktop version finishes testing - which should be sometime at the end of the summer, 2009.
What about the iPad?
We're just as excited about the iPad as you are (see our latest blog post), and we're positive that MagStand will
enhance your iPad experience.
We're not yet convinced that the iPad is where we should focus all our development time (we'd rather get MagStand in the hands
of as many users as possible - without limiting the use of our app by platform or device).
In other words, we'll keep you informed about the iPad.
Can I see it?
We were told once, as children, "you show me yours, I'll show you mine." Got something we're interested in, such as:
- You're a magazine publisher
- You're an Xcode developer
- You're involved with a VC with big pockets
- You've got an offer for subscription models that beat our current partner (that's gonna be tough)
- You're offering a nice night on the town
Barring those items, we're gonna keep hush-hush for now. Who knows, we might throw some easter eggs on this site to keep your interested.
