The Economist today announced that it will launch iPad intelligent life, editing its famous quarterly magazine covering the life, culture and style. Intelligent life is already on the stand-news in Britain and Europe, Canada, but it was only available by subscription to the us so far.
Intelligent life is launched in the USA exclusively on the iPad - publishers claim is one first, and that is yet another sign of the impact that the iPad exercises on the publishing industry.
The application is free to download and currently has a free 'Sampler issue' together with a first issue full free, sponsored by Credit Suisse.
Here's a little more detail on the content and the development of intelligent life:

I don't know if this is a problem in version iOS 4.2 Beta or their servers are being hammered on 1 day launch, or something else.
I'll keep trying and I share thoughts if I get a chance to examine the application correctly.
