While many prefer getting their daily dose of info from the internet, there is still something to be said about magazines and their loyal readers. So it comes as no surprise that some of these publications are sill around and some website even capitalize on the popularity of these well known magazines.

Such is the case with Zinio and for an undisclosed period, you can view the magazines they carry free on your iPhone/iPod Touch or Safari browser. Just head on over to www.zinio.com/iphone on your iPhone or iPod Touch and start reading for free. If you don’t have an iPhone, you can likewise use your Safari browser.

Just be sure you enable the Develop Menu through the Advanced tab in the Preferences.

Once its enabled, click Develop, then User Agent and select Mobile Safari 1.1.3 –iPhone. Thank you to iSmashPhone for this little tidbit.

Some of the more popular titles available are Popular Mechanics, Men’s Health, Playboy, Penthouse, Esquire, PC Magazine, Popular Photography, and Reader’s Digest to name a few. 

You’ve got to hurry though, we don’t know how long before they regain their sanity and pull this free service off the net.
