    Bristol show notes (and pics)

    We went to the show on Friday, and came away with very mixed feelings about the whole thing. Generally we found the amount of AV very, very dissapointing, this is the first time we have been in several years, and I would have to say that this element has declined to the extent that there is now...

    Apple iPhone 5 16GB white £499.99

    Not quite the bargain it claims to be though, only £525 from Apple direct, sim free, not the much inflated cost of £735 claimed by the website, not sure where they get that price, as even the most expensive one direct from apple is £699 for 64GB, compared to the 16gb on offer. But as you say...

    Blockbuster Marketplace blu ray offers + £5 discount code

    While I agree very few if any business could guarantee they will be here in April, they are not in administration, where as Blockbuster are, so have a very uncertain future.

    Blockbuster Marketplace blu ray offers + £5 discount code

    While their market place may offer good deals, I find it incredible that they are still taking orders for "Pre-Order" films some of which don't come out till April, that they have no guarantee of fulfilling if they do actually go out of business. On that basis alone I would be reluctant to do...

    iPad 3 £329!

    Richer are only listing 16gb's, don't think I could survive on that, having a 32gb version 1, that seems to be at around 28-29gb all the time! Havn't had a chance to try elsewhere as yet

    iPad 3 £329!

    Just called my local HMV (Crawley), and they reckon the offer expired a week or two ago! But also that they have no stocks of ANY Apple products whatsoever, as HMV are having supply chain problems with Apple, which considering we are in the run-up to christmas, and HMV's way forward is supposed...

    iPad 3 £329!

    Hi Are these deals "in-store" only deals? looked on the websites of both, and I can't see the same prices? I assume you are all talking of 16gb models? Do you know if there is a proportional deal on the 32gb models?? Many thanks for any further info.

    Syncing newsstand and Zinio mags on IPad??

    Unless Zinio themselves go over to Newsstand (and from their point of view, they would have to create an individual app for every single magazine they do for every language etc as this is how newsstand work, which would be pretty big task), I can't see this happening anytime soon. Though I can...

    Digital edition of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision is here!

    Very confused with Zinio now, after finding out magazine was sold to another publisher, and Zinio member of staff admitting they they could no longer supply mag, and offering alternative magazines instead, I have now received email from another member of staff apologising for the delay in this...

    Digital edition of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision is here!

    Many thanks Andrew for the reply. Having now had a reply from Zinio re the other publication, and in combination with your own reply, it has to be said there appear to be too many parties involved in the digital publishing of an issue compared to the traditional print field. With...

    Digital edition of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision is here!

    Clare While publishing via Newstand may be good news for many, how would it leave those who have subscribed via Zinio? Will you continue to publish via Zinio for now, or abandon the platform?? I ask this as I have recently subscribed to yours and a rival magazine (both for a year), which has...

    Download the Awards 2011 special edition now!

    Don't forget the in app price includes vat, whereas the online price is plus vat, though in the case of What Hifi it does appear there is a 30p difference, where many other mags work out the same, clearly What HiFi must be a premium product on the iPad!!

    Digital edition of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision is here!

    With Regards to the Zinio platform, while an advertised price of £2.99 might sound great, there is VAT at 20% to be added to that (unfortunately the Government haven't cottoned on to this new fangled technology lark yet), so the final price is more likely to be £3.60, far nearer the printed...
