Wired Magazine - what a bummer!
Wired magazine is releasing an iPad app at $4.99 PER ISSUE!

Not only that, they admit in the article that they, "will be experimenting with prices as (they) continues to tweak the application once readers get their hands on it."

This is the same policy that Popular Science and Time Magazine are following, Five bucks an issue. What a rip-off. I hope NOBODY buys these individual magazine apps. Zinio offers the best deal on magazine subscriptions and a pretty nice app to view them.

Go to the Wired web site and you can get a subscription for 83 cents an issue plus a free baseball cap. But if you own an iPad you can pay 5 dollars an issue and partake in their experiment.
