LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- EQUITIES Magazine is proud to announce the availability of EQUITIES to investors around the world -- free of charge -- via the tremendously popular Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) iPhone and iPod touch. Nearly a million of the new, innovative devices are currently in use, and that number is projected to grow substantially.
"This is a very exciting time for us and the entire magazine industry," says Jonathan Bernard, president of EQUITIES. "Our availability on the iPhone marks a significant milestone for EQUITIES and the beginning of a new era in magazine publishing."
Starting Sept. 20, iPhone users will be able to access and read the September 2007 issue of EQUITIES at http://iphone.texterity.com/equitiesus/iphone. Viewers will experience an exact digital version of the print issue -- which features a cover-story interview with FINRA CEO Mary Schapiro -- including the graphics and original layout. In the coming months, EQUITIES Europe will be available on iPhones throughout Europe.
Working with Texterity Inc., a leading provider of digital publishing solutions, EQUITIES is among the first publishers to offer complete digital editions of their magazine on the iPhone. The interface and portal powering the digital magazine edition, developed by Texterity, enables readers to quickly and easily access EQUITIES everywhere and anytime. The specially-designed interface utilizes the iPhone's built-in Safari browser for a seamless integration of features and full readership enjoyment.
"This is a great benefit for iPhone users and a value-added opportunity for our publishing partners to provide their readers with yet another choice of viewing platforms," says Cimarron Buser, Texterity VP of Marketing and Product Planning. "This makes Texterity the first digital magazine interface allowing users to read full magazine content on the iPhone and the iPod touch."
