Magazine publishers have been getting all worked up about the iPad’s potential lately thanks to the massive immediate success of Wired’s app, which debuted in late May and is already up to around 90,000 downloads at $4.99, same price as the print edition.
The latest magazine to get in on the craze is Sports Illustrated, which debuted its iPad app earlier today. It costs $4.99 and features social media utilities, live newsfeeds and twice the number of photos that are in the print edition.

“What [SI Group Editor Terry] McDonell and his team … have delivered is one of the first magazine apps to take close-to-full advantage of the platform while keeping the reader—and the reader as user—in mind.”
