About two months ago, I brought up how GQ beginning to sell issues of its magazine as an Apple iPhone app. For $2.99, buyers would a digital version of the publication, as well as multimedia, video, audio and everything else that you can’t get with a print version.
And, now, Conde Nast, the company that owns GQ, released numbers on the first couple months of the experiment. For the December issue, the first month of the app, GQ sold 6,614 copies and roughly 12,000 copies of the January issue. After Apple’s 30 percent fee for selling an app, that comes out to be about $39,000 for the first two issues.
Yeah, not a lot, especially when GQ has more than 227,000 newsstand and 685,000 paid subscriptions.
Still, Conde Nast and other agencies see these numbers as an encouraging sell to the mobile reader. And with Apple’s tablet set to launch, well, any day now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see GQ’s numbers jump even more in February and for more magazine publications to start making the switch.

The cpu is called as just a bit recent model number but it and also the GPU are most likely the similar speed as the 3GS. The old Touch using the similar Processor and GPU since the 3G was faster. Besides having the clock speed turned up higher the Touch has much less software to run since it is not a telephone. It should do more than any iPhone to day in performance.

What I love about blog posts is that often they spark an idea in my brain. Once that happens, I feel as I need to write a comment expecting it’s helpful to others. Because there are so many blogs and forums with distinct points of view, they question your thinking. It is at these moments when you have significant insignt other people might not have had, especially the blogger himself/herself. I find myself coming back to your site simply because you have some impressive insights and also you are already at this a very long time, which is very inspiring and tells me you know your stuff. Keep triggering ideas in others!
