Galatta Cinema: First Indian movie magazine on Apple iPad!

The largest circulating English cinema magazine in India for South Indian movies, Galatta Cinema has become the first Indian movie magazine in the world to be available on the iPad. It is also noteworthy that Galatta Cinema was the first to launch a mobile version on the iPhone, Android and Nokia app stores.

For the first time ever, India's entertainment industry goes the iPad way with Galatta Cinema's new iPad app. The application, an innovative attempt at bridging mobile, e-reader and print media, takes the impressive, full colour Galatta Cinema magazine on to the iPad platform. Built using cutting-edge technology, the Galatta Cinema iPhone application allows users to read all the 100+ pages of the magazine on the iPad from anywhere in the world.

It is reported that the application has caught the fancy of users immediately after the launch and thousands of Galatta.com and Galatta Cinema readers who own iPads, iPhones or iPod touch devices have downloaded it and are already using it. Now, South Indian tinsel town's hot favourites, scoops and stories can be read, viewed and enjoyed by any one in any part of the planet via the iPhone.

The ever-proactive Galatta.com team, instead of reclining on the success of the application, is looking forward to further enhance Galatta Cinema's iExperience. The team has set up a feedback email (iphone@galatta.com) to which users can send their feedback on the application. It has been reported that already many emails have been received from users on suggested enhancements to the app and that the Galatta.com team has been working to escalate the application to the next level. It may be noted that Galatta Cinema is also available as e-book at www.galattacinema.com.

The entire technology initiative of bringing Galatta Cinema to mobile users has been supported by Dot Com Infoway Mobile Studios, India, which has already pioneered apps like the official IPL app, the official ICC app, Sony Music’s iPhone apps, etc. with its top-notch team of mobile technology experts and is venturing more into e-publishing in addition to other areas.
