Today, we've just released our V2.0 offering for iPad magazines.
This version works much better with the iPad than V1.0 released at the end of March.
New features include:
a fixed menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
Content List can now be view
Easier left/right swiping between pages
Pictures can now be full screen
It is now possible to sell the magazines to the public using PayPal.
The final payment option is in closed beta with a limited number of publishers. But we see this as a significant step forward into incentivising publishers onto the eyemags platform and make money from their content.
At the same time iPhone EyeMags 2.0 is also released with the same new features.
For both the iPhone and iPad EyeMags use the HTML5 features which allow offline webapps to be created. EyeMags makes it easy for publishers of great content to make it available as apps on thousands of different mobile devices.
Today we're announcing support for the iPad. Now any magazine created will work on the iPad, the iPhone and still work on 1,000s of other phones too. So if you have a magazine, a company brochure, information leaflet on a new festival or conference information and want it on the iPad and just about any phone now, try us.
To mark this new features we've created a special site just for the iPad at iPadMags.com.
And what's more because we do not use iTunes appstore to install the magazine web application there's still time to get your magazine live on the iPad before April 3rd - the US launch date for the iPad.

EyeMags (eyemags.com), the mobile content app generator for all mobile phones and devices, announces “EyeMags Pro” today. “EyeMags Pro” is designed for the professional publisher.It enables the professional publisher to brand their apps within the builder user interface.
EyeMags allows publishers to create apps on the EyeMags website, which can then be downloaded onto mobile phones. Thousands of free apps are available for downloading. EyeMags have previously targeted the home user, but is now focusing its attention on the professional user.The CEO, Robin Jewsbury, said "Within the EyeMags app builder professional users can now define their own “theme” which totally defines all the branding elements within the application.These themes can be applied to multiple magazines so specific branding can be quickly applied to groups of magazines.Magazines can now have a separate graphical cover, product name and a defined icon.They can also fully define the “about” text and urls in the app.EyeMags is unique in that it currently supports virtually all phones including Java capable phones, iPhone, most smartphones, as well as lower end phones. What’s more we intend to support the iPad by the time it is released in March.This means that EyeMags Pro magazines will be available for the majority of phones and other mobile devices.We believe we’re the only company that is able to do this”.
To start using the professional capability, publishers must join the “Pro Club” for $999 and then can purchase licenses for $49 per app.This is a great deal cheaper than what similar companies are charging.
All this is in addition to the previous announcements in December when EyeMags announced a complete whitelabel capability for companies wishing to re-brand the whole of EyeMags.For an example of it being implemented at mobilemags.360fashion.net. Also in December e-commerce links were released and these are available in pro magazines within all the published stories.E-commerce links enable click to call, click to sms, click to feedback, click to map, and click to video capabilities.
Also released today are 2 videos explaining how the new capabilities are used.The first is an overview and the second is more detailed.Within the second video there are details of a promotion code which enables users to produce a pro-magazine for free (for non commercial use), so they can try before they buy.
Today, we've just released our V2.0 offering for iPad magazines.
