optimized for iPhone’s screen – Fast overview of Apple community
June 22, 2007 — Westlake Village, CA — MacTech Magazine announced today
the immediate availability of the MacTech Community News Scanner
specifically designed for the iPhone. MacTech’s Community News Scanner
allows users to scan news from the best news sources around the Apple
community in one easy view. See (https://www.mactech.com/iphone/applenews/)
Based on MacTech’s successful community news scan for full size browsers
(see MacTech’s home page at (https://www.mactech.com) and the dedicated
community news page at (https://www.mactech.com/commnews-index.php)), the
new version of the scanner has been specifically optimized for the iPhone.

News items are updated every few minutes, aggregated and sorted by time to
give those in the industry the most comprehensive and up-to-the-minute look
across the community. Should a news story interest someone, they are just
one tap away from the full story on the site who created the story.
“We originally designed the MacTech Community News Scanner for ourselves,
and it’s been a tremendous success for those in the community. Many readers
tell us that they’ve been using it as their home page for some time,” said
Neil Ticktin, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of MacTech Magazine. “We’ve been
testing a cell phone version for a while, so the iPhone specific version is
a natural extension of that experience.”
MacTech encourages users to give feedback on the MacTech Community News
Scanner at feedback at mactech.com

from network administrators to programmers, from solution providers to
Enterprise, and in general anyone that’s interested in the Macintosh beyond
the user level. MacTech’s approach has always been that of “How-to” as

news aggregator to keep readers up to date with one look across the
community.
