发帖数: 60932 | 1 Wired Magazine just rolled out a new subscription model where you "subscribe
once and access anywhere". Previously, you were limited to paying for
individual issues (e.g. iPad app), but now your physical subscription
carries over. This is now LIVE (already done it myself).
Before the trolls come, each issue costs $4 a pop if on the iPad w/no
subscription. This amounts to about $24 savings a year at least over buying
individual issues (and in my case about $44 since I got in on one of those
cheap SD magazine deals). It's still possible to buy single issues at $4 so
if you're already a subscriber, make sure to register your iPad and stop
paying for digital issues. If you're not a subscriber and paying for each
digital issue, you probably want to start. Even at MSRP, it's about $2 an
issue (~$20) vs. $48 for buying 12 individual issues and like I said, you
can often find it much cheaper on SD (got mine for $4/year if I remember
correctly, which is the cost of one digital edition w/o subscription).
Right now, Wired is only available for iPad, however an Android edition is
slated to release this spring. When it's released, you'll likewise be able
to download the digital versions free if you already have a subscription.
The important thing to remember when it does become available for Android is
to register your subscription since it will probably just display
individual issues if you're not logged in with your subscribed account (as
with the iPad app).
iPad owners, if you don't already have it, the Wired app in itunes:

Some info you will need:
Account number
I didn't remember my account number (on the plastic packaging for each mag
you normally throw away) so I used this form to create an account for
subscription management online: Link:

You also will need to make an account with Wired.com: Link:

Once you have both those pieces of info, you can use it in the iPad app to
register it to access all the issues that you've received in the mail
already - as far back as the Pixar/Toy Story 3 issue, but including this
issue :
