Reader Review: Zinio
I’ve found that my iPad has made a fantastic reader. Most days I’ll spend at least an hour or so reading or browsing. I was recently about to renew a local magazine subscription and wondered if there was some way I could get it on my iPad instead. Why not carry all my subscriptions on me rather than having them collect dust on a shelf or under the coffee table?
I didn’t hold much hope of finding any local magazine content online but a search led me to Zinio and their large international range of magazines covering just about every possible subject you can imagine!…

WWDC San Francisco set for June 6th (7th for NZ) – Rumours say no hardware announcements
Apple have just sent out invites for this years WWDC (Worldwide Developer Conference) event in San Francisco. The dates to mark on your calendar are June 6th thru 10th (7th thru 11th in NZ time). The invite contains the text “Join us for a preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X”, the latter of which was largely ignored at last year’s WWDC so Mac devs will be most pleased. Last year’s event saw the unveiling of the iPhone 4 however those hoping for something similar this year may be disappointed as rumours so far seem to be suggesting that no hardware announcements will be made with the focus firmly on software. It’s highly likely that we’ll see a lot more of OS X Lion and quite possible that we’ll learn more about iOS 5, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough. We’ll have all the coverage you need, of course, right here at iPhonewzealand.…

Why iOS devices suddenly just became a threat to Sky
Here in New Zealand, Sky operates a nice little monopoly on the pay TV market. It has been like that since 1990 and there are no signs of any new entrants. Feeding us with paltry meals of imported shows two-or-three seasons behind their expiry date, Sky has enjoyed fat profits and (compared to other countries) only few channels to buy programming for. But two announcements made yesterday could finally bring real alternatives to NZ, and Sky should take heed.…

Grab our new iPhone app and donate to the NZ Red Cross Earthquake Appeal
We have just launched our second iPhone app in the App Store, which provides feeds from our site and iPhone settings for every NZ carrier, among other things. We are charging for this app so that we can give something back to the people of Christchurch following Tuesday’s deadly quake. The App is priced at $2.59 until the end of March and all proceeds from our cut of the sales will go to the NZ Red Cross (30% will still go to Apple, which we cannot avoid). Why not download it now to give to the Canterbury Earthquake Appeal.
Remember you are not paying for the app itself, you are paying to donate to the NZ Red Cross.…

One of our Apple sources has just informed us that it looks like Apple has finalized the code for its upcoming iOS 4.3 release. The build, we’re told, is 8F190 for those keeping track.
