Some U.S. publishers leap on Apple's new iOS newsstand feature

"It's kind of like having the paper delivered to your front door. Only better."

-- from the Apple website, referring to a feature in its new iOS --  a virtual newsstand which lets readers access magazines and newspapers quickly on iPods and iPads and alerts them automatically when a new issue is available.

According to a story on Folio:, 

When viewing the Newsstand in iTunes, some featured titles include Wired, The New York Times, National Geographic Magazine, The Daily and Reader's Digest. Bonnier, always an early adopter with almost everything app-related, says Popular Science, Popular Photography and Sound + Vision are available on the iOS 5 newsstand as well.
