Seems to be that there's an inbuilt pdf reader that is used by Safari as well.
I found a lot of interesting material about pdfs in iTunes (of all things) it looks like you can download pfs in the same way as you download a track - or subscribe to one in the same way as you subscribe to a podcast. Presumably you can then get them onto your iPod touch simply by syncing.
I'd love to see FeedBooks on there!
Here's the Complete guide to pdfs on ITunes. If you're curious you can also try searching for '.pdf' ino the itunes store search ending.
Of course good old basic html is still very much an option as well.
The dilemma for me is whether to get one now or wait for the HD version. the lack of the HD version is a bit of a disappointment. I'm sure Apple will produce one - there would be a hell of a market among photographers especially if they build in RAW support. |
Hmm ok... so the easiest way to get PDF on an iPhone/iTouch would be through a RSS feed ? I guess I could do that...
We already output our search results in XML, for example if you're looking for the keyword "war":

Too bad I don't have an iPhone (I live in Paris) or could borrow one, it would be much easier to find the right solution for these devices.
