Zinio for Android on a Motorola Atrix: Hands-on photos

While reviewing our Motorola Atrix we happened across the Zinio app for Android.

Zinio’s Magazine Newsstand & Reader app is already available for iPhone and iPad and a handful of Android devices as well.

In a nutshell, Zinio gives you access to high resolution scans of print magazines. You can read them in portrait or landscape on your phone, flick left and right through pages and pinch to zoom to get up close.

There’s an option to switch to a text-only mode if you don’t want to be distracted by pretty pictures and outgoing links. It’s all very slick looking and easy to use and worked a treat on our Atrix.

We’ve spent some time playing around with it, downloaded a handful of titles and thought we’d throw up some hands-on pics of it in action.

Bar a few tweaks and changes we’d like to see, it looks pretty much finished to us, suggesting that Zinio will be hitting the Android Market pretty soon. We contacted Motorola to check whether or not that this comes be pre-installed on retail versions of the Atrix; we’re assuming yes.

Until it arrives in the Android Market for other devices, have a look to see how it all works.
