Amazon is trying to sell you magazines on the iPad. The latest update to the Kindle app for iPad now has a newsstand for reading Kindle Fire magazines, a built-in PDF reader, and slickly-designed text book replicas.
I like Newsstand but some people don't! And if you're like them, it's pretty annoying how you can't hide the Newsstand away in a Folder in iOS 5. But wait! You can. All you need is some super fast fingers. Here's how.
iOS 5 is here, well, probably, depending on if you managed to update your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch OK last night. With it comes Newsstand, which is the immovable folder thing on your homescreen that's soon to be filled with newspapers and mags.
The first wave of magazines supporting Apple's Newsstand feature on iOS 5 went live today, which is good news. In theory, Newsstand isn't that big of a deal. But using it, you realise it's something more.
One of the features I'm most looking forward to in iOS 5 is Newsstand, I can't wait to have my news and magazines automagically download to my phone every morning. But what else is there to know about Newsstand?
