Read magazines on your iPhone and iPod Touch for free

Zinio is letting you browse its top-selling magazine titles for free on your iPhone and iPod Touch in “super high resolution.” Simply point your iPhone Safari Browser to this address: http://www.zinio.com/iphone

The page will only load on a iPhone and iPod Touch. If you attempt to load it on your computer, most likely you will see this page.

When I checked yesterday, here were some of the magazines you can browse through:

  • U.S. News & World Report
  • Playboy 
  • Popular Mechanics
  • PC Magazine
  • Men’s Health
  • Penthouse
  • MacWorld UK
  • Reader’s Digest

A pretty good selection, don’t you think? I tested it out on wi-fi, and it takes a bit of time to load each pages. But hey, it’s free, so I shouldn’t complain.

The service is called the Zinio Mobile Newsstand, and it’s under the Zinio Labs section. It looks like they’re testing the service, and I really hope they keep it.
