Wired Magazine Hits the iPad: First Issue Looks at Pixar

Wired magazine announced Wednesday that Wired for iPad is now available from the App Store. Fittingly enough, the first issue for iPad (the June issue) looks at Apple CEO Steve Jobs’s former company, Pixar, with an inside look at how Toy Story 3 was made.

“The irony that Wired, a magazine founded to chronicle the digital revolution, has traditionally come to you each month on the smooshed atoms of dead trees is not lost on us,” editor-in-chief Chris Anderson said in a letter posted at Wired.com. “Let’s just say the medium is not always the message. Except that now it is.”

The issue includes interactive elements, video and more. The company said the app was developed with tools from Adobe, and that versions for other tablets will be released soon. The app is US$4.99.
