Godengo Takes Magazines to the iPhone®
Free 'Palm Springs Life' App Launches; Many More Regional Titles to Hit App Store Soon
EMERYVILLE, Calif., July 23 -- Godengo, a provider of multimedia digital platforms for the magazine publishing industry, today announced the debut of its first iPhone app on the Apple iTunes App Store. Subscribers and the more than 100 million users of iPhones and iPod Touches can now freely access all Palm Springs Life content published during the past five years. The app is also available in an iPad version, to be fully optimized in a subsequent release to take advantage of that device's capabilities.
Other Godengo customers whose magazines will be accessible on their own iPhone apps in coming weeks include these titles: Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Diablo, Marin, Toronto, Honolulu, Maui, New Orleans, San Diego, Sacramento, Oakland, Missouri, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Tulsa.
"This is a great move forward for us," said Milton W. Jones, publisher of Palm Springs Life and president of Desert Publications Inc., whose properties also include the recently acquired San Diego Magazine. "Our readers can now engage with us anywhere, and any user of an Apple mobile device can access our extensive content database to see what's happening in this world-class travel destination. Our app also increases access to our advertisers' directories by tourists and others who have interest in our region."
Godengo CEO Peter Stilson added: "We've been a leader in bringing midsized and regional publishers to the web and helping them monetize their content. Now we're taking them to the world's fastest growing mobile platform. Thousands of magazine publishers can now access powerful new channels of engagement and advertising on an equal footing with much larger companies."
