Following recent concerns that the new iPads higher-resolution screen has led to text in magazines being poorly anti-aliased and unclear, digital publishing company Mag+ has released its first Retina-enhanced titles, PopSci+ and MAD.
“People who want to understand just how different the new iPad really is, need only to spend a few moments with a magazine created for its native resolution. Text is tack sharp and images are so vibrant it feels as though you could dive right in,” says Mag+ CEO Staffan Ekholm. “And it’s fitting that PopSci+, the first iPad title ever, the one Steve Jobs praised at the launch of iPad, should be among the first in the new iPad’s Newsstand, looking this great.”
Mag+ has also broadened its range of compatible devices – previously only available on the iPad and Android devices with a 10-inch screen, like the Samsung Galaxy, magazines can now be published to seven-inch Android devices, as well as the Kindle Fire and iPhone.
