FREEBIES: Access to the full text of all Nature and Nature News content through the app is free as an introductory offer until the 30 April 2010. Users will need to be registered on nature.com...

Nature Promises that the App was Developed So Articles Can Be Seen in High-Resolution; zoomable figures, and a special references view.

App Will Work with iPad Once it Launches

"Enhanced functionality is planned for the nature.com mobile app later in 2010, and personal and institutional pricing options will be available. NPG will be trialing site license access with selected institutional customers. Subject to feedback from customers, NPG intends to roll out access to other Nature branded journals and publications available on nature.com, including Scientific American. An application for devices using Android is expected to be available within the next few months."

Nature Publishing Group Has Also Announced that They Will Begin Publishing and Supporting e-Books in the EPUB Format during 2010. Our guess, is that It will likely be sometime around the release of the iPad.
