NewspaperDirect Inc. announced that the world's largest online newspaper kiosk, PressDisplay.com, is now available on the iPhone, and as a special promotion, it is being offered free of charge for one month to all iPhone users. iPhone users can point their Safari browser to http://www.pressdisplay.com to enjoy many of the biggest newspaper titles from the United States - including The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Jose Mercury News, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and The New York Post, plus hundreds of international newspapers such as The Daily Mail, The Wall Street Journal Europe and all 11 CanWest publications.
NewspaperDirect Inc. is the multi-channel newspaper and magazine content distribution and monetization. NewspaperDirect offers hundreds of newspaper and magazine titles through a global network of more than 1,200 print locations in more than 90 countries, delivering them to hotels, libraries, cruise ships, corporate offices, retail outlets, home subscribers and Web browsers everywhere. With SmartEdition, a publisher's subscribers benefit from anywhere/anytime access to current and back issues of their publications, while enjoying premium digital features such as voice, translation, sharing, blogging and advanced searching.
PressDisplay users have access to online digital replicas of more than 500 newspapers and magazines - from 70 countries, in 37 languages - making it an indispensable news source for anyone who wants multiple perspectives on the news. Newspapers in PressDisplay are presented in their original layout, and the iPhone's unique multi-touch gestures and auto-rotate feature let users easily zoom in to view any article or photo in stunning clarity.
Mobile PressDisplay has been optimized for the iPhone, making it extremely easy to browse and read newspapers with section listings, zoom and pan, page flipping, auto-jumps that link articles spanning different pages, text or graphics views, bookmarks, search, monitors and audio support. Unlike news aggregation sites, which only provide a sample of free news stories from a variety of news sources, Mobile PressDisplay lets mobile users read hundreds of premium newspapers in their entirety.
"The iPhone is the perfect mobile platform for PressDisplay.com because its rich user interface complements the advanced navigation and browsing capabilities of PressDisplay," said Alexander Kroogman, CEO of NewspaperDirect. "But what is really exciting is that, for the first time, we can mobile-enable all of our dozens of SmartEdition publications, giving their subscribers anywhere/anytime access to their digital editions."
