http://www.talkandroid.com – Google is now offering a “Free for print subscribers” option for certain magazines in the Play Store. If you subscribe to certain magazines that offer this, you’ll see a login screen asking for your email address and password to your magazine’s online account.  Once you see it, go ahead and select “subscribe”, then you will see an option called “free for print subscribers,” thus the magazine is available for free. Note that this is only available on your Android phone or tablet and not in the Google Play web version on your computer. source (IT news)

The same goes for Music, Magazines, Books, and Movies & TV.

Just spotted a couple of system app's on JB, LSD, that I don't remember coming across before...

Today, the NewzSocial app is launching its own version of a social news magazine for iPad, but is offering a different take in order to stand out from the rest.

As part of Google’s improvements to the Google Play store during 2012, this past summer they announced the addition of magazines and TV shows. The announcement was made in conjunction with Google I/O and the Google Nexus 7 tablet release. Today Google released an update to the app making it available for users in Australia.

Plague Inc. has made it’s way the the Google Play Store, and it’s likely to be a hit.
