Mygazines Mobile, our universal interface for reading digital editions on-the-go, attracted attention from some of the most influential and specialized media outlets. All experts seemed to be particularly impressed by the cross-platform and multi-device capabilities.

Here is what they had to say:

"Moving toward platforms that target all mobile devices and e-readers without requiring additional work from the publisher will be the focus for 2010 (...) Mygazines Mobile runs off any mobile browser and is offered without additional charge."
-Matt Kinsman, FOLIO

"(Mygazines) has made its collection accessible across all mobile platforms in a digital interface that is more accessible and user-friendly for e-readers than a mobile app."
-MediaInCanada

"(Mygazines Mobile) gives hope that magazines aren't "dying" so much as being reincarnated in a new format." -Alex Alvarez, Mediabistro.com

"Everyone in the media world, it seems is obsessed with the future of magazines in an online world. Yorkville-based Mygazines thinks they have at least part of that problem figured out (...) (Mygazines) announced the launch of an interface for mobile devices - the same system will work for all major handheld gadgets, including the iPhone and Google Android."
-YongeStreetMedia

"We can expect Mygazines' approach to become quite successful within the online publishing arena and to be followed by others (...) The Universal Mobile Interface approach should be carefully considered as an alternative to apps."
-Martin Vendel, Universal Mobile Interface Blog

"(Mygazines) offers publishers a digital tool for reducing distribution costs and delivers thousands of publications to more than 200 countries worldwide."
-Chris Harnick, Mobile Marketer

"First up, this isn’t actually an app. The new Mygazines Mobile portal is simply a simpler interface for browsing the site’s magazine content, one that’s “device independent” thanks to operating within the one thing all modern smartphones have in common: a web browser."
-EUROdroid

"It is a fairly nice looking web app, with smooth scrolling, a useful "text only" article view, and easy access to emailing articles, posting them to social bookmark sites..." -TheLewisFour

Yahoo Finance, BrockNews, TD Ameritrade, ITechwireTMCNet and Forbes also echoed Mygazines' big launch, including dozens of positive mentions on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.
