Weekly iPad magazine Huffington (link [1] ) is shedding its paid subscription model and is now offering free subscriptions inside Newstand. You can download all issues one-by-one or subscribe to receive automatic downloads once a week. Each issue is around 200 MB per issue.
Huffington has original content as well as some of HuffingtonPost.com’s [2] better content from the previous week. It’s a similar approach that Engadget is taking with their excellent Distro magazine app [3] . Previously, Huffington cost $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year, but reading through a few issues, I can say the magazine seems a bit too small to justify the cost.
A warning: if a partisan political viewpoint bothers you, Huffington is somewhat of the liberal persuasion. It’s even a little more heavyhanded then the conservative views of The Daily. It’s a partisan world, my friends.
