Digital Edition of Wired Available on iPad

“The irony that Wired, a magazine founded to chronicle the digital revolution, has traditionally come to you each month on the smooshed atoms of dead trees is not lost on us,” a Wired article announcing the launch of the publication’s iPad-compatible digital edition reads.

Questions about whether or not iPad applications will actually make publications money have been looming ever since Apple revealed its new gadget at the beginning of the year, and Wired is one of the first magazines to test the digital-subscription waters. “The tablet is our opportunity to make the Wired we always dreamed of,” Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson states in the aforementioned article. “It has all the visual impact of paper, enhanced by interactive elements like video and animated infographics.”

The Wired Magazine application for the iPad is now available on the Apple iTunes store for $4.99. Check out the magazine’s video demonstration of its digital edition’s interactive features below:
