If you've taken issue with your usual choices for buying magazines on your tablet, be it pay-per-issue or per-subscription, you're not alone. If you'll recall, it was nearly a year ago that Next Issue Media launched the preliminary version of its "
Hulu-meets-magazines" app on the
Galaxy Tab, and it's finally ready to release this physical newsstand alternative officially. After raking in a slew of deals
last November, its
Android 3.0 app is now available -- users can fork over a monthly fee of $10 to access all of its monthly and bi-weekly content, while an extra five bucks adds in weekly content, essentially giving you access to every publication on offer. Singular subscriptions are also available for two to 10 bucks, and you'll currently have a choice of 32 mags from the likes of
Car and Driver to
The New Yorker. Interestingly,
TechCrunch notes that NIM plans to get the app over to iOS "soon" -- it'll surely be interesting to see how it competes with Apple's own
Newsstand. You'll find more info at the via links below, and you can flip over to the source for details about a 30-day trial offer.
Next Issue Media launches on Android, $15 a month for access to 32 magazines originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 04 Apr 2012 06:11:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
