Popular Science + is the first digital magazine to emerge from Bonnier’s Mag+, an ongoing project across all Bonnier titles in the U.S. and Europe to rethink the way magazines can be read on a new generation of full-color, touchscreen tablet devices.

Popular Science+ is a new way of experiencing magazines on digital devices and a first step toward our vision of what digital magazine reading can be. Mag+, Bonnier’s digital magazine platform, is a project that began months ago in a collaboration between Bonnier’s global R&D task force and BERG, a London-based design studio.

Our goal has been to preserve all the qualities that make magazines such a powerful, popular medium—inspired packaging of carefully curated content by a team of expert editors, delivered in a visually dazzling issue with a beginning, middle and end—and at the same time to reinvent it in a way that makes it come to life on the iPad’s screen.”

We’re excited to have a conversation with you to find out what you think of the Mag+ platform and the Popular Science+. We’ll base our changes and upgrades on your feedback, so please give us your thoughts.

    Very, very nice. Really looking forward to trying this once the iPad arrives in the UK.

    Please do develop the 'heat' function soon :-)

    Congratulations to all involved!

    This looks great. I love the way you scroll up when you want to dig deeper into an article. I have a printed subscription now but will be switching in a few days. Congrats!

    This is one of the first apps I used when I booted up my iPad, and it truly is a completely new way to experience magazines. I can't wait to see stuff like this from Wired and others!

    I can see designing amazing looking pages for hand held readers surpassing the rubbish that is out there on the web through browsers we have to 'design' for as ancient as IE6. Hand helds come built in with the latest in browsing technology so we don't have to back wards design and compromise in a big way.
