Condé Nast UK has unveiled the paid-for iPad edition of technology magazine Wired.
At £2.39 the digital version has been priced lower than the newsstand cover price of the printed monthly magazine – that sells for £3.99, although subscribers pay just £2 per issue for the print version.
Wired editor David Rowen told readers what they can expect from the new launch in a blog post yesterday:

“So what will you get on the iPad? Everything that’s in the print magazine, with extra multimedia content when we feel it helps tell a story.
“Turn the iPad screen from portrait to landscape mode, and you can watch video documentaries, click around 360-degree photographs, interact with animated infographics, and listen to music and audio tracks when they add value to our journalism.
“We’ve also inserted a few Easter eggs, to add a little serendipitous discovery as you navigate through the app.”
