08.04.11 - Launching the Apple iPad allowed publishers to present their content in multiple for-mats with great quality and ease of use allowing additional revenues. The iPad native applications developed by KnowledgeView for publishers are designed to maximize the benefits of the iPad, giving the end user high-quality browsing of text, photos and videos, custom views and multiple subscription options.

It is estimated that the tablets market will grow rapidly, with over 52 million new tab-lets sold in 2011 alone, Apple to account for at least 75% of this growth. Thus, pub-lishers can not afford to miss out on this key platform for their audience. Knowledge-View has invested heavily in providing tablets and mobile publishing technology for publishers, allowing key Middle East publishers such as Saudi Research and Marketing Group (KSA), Dar Al-Hayat (KSA), Oman Establishment for Print and Press, Okaz (KSA), Maroc Soir Group (Morocco), Al-Ghad (Jordan), Al-Watan (Qatar) among oth-ers to offer personalized market leading applications via the Apple Store and other venues. KnowledgeView has also collaborated with the Australian Associated Press to jointly offer innovative solutions to publishers in Australia.

The iPad technology from KnowledgeView provides unique e-reader capability with users' own store management and subscriptions, hence, the publisher can offer a combination of paid-for subscription services for editions as well as innovative views for developing stories. It also has a powerful interactivity functionality for users, browsing in different views, searching, sharing articles and adding to favorites. Off-line browsing capabilities give the users the ability to read their favorite articles or editions at their own convenience and build their own libraries.

The video and photo experience is unprecedentedly rewarding in KnowledgeView's apps with the quick rendering capability and photos/videos dedicated galleries. Eager users can be up to date with the breaking news and developing stories around the clock sent directly from the content providers’ Newsroom.

To reduce the cost of publishing on the iPad, Publishers can publish straight from their Newsroom with a simple click of a button. They can apply their corporate identity to the application in terms of logo, color, font and channels order as they deem fit. They can generate considerable amount of revenues through the different subscription modules per edition or for a specific period of time and through various advertising schemes.
