Mashable is one of the world's largest blogs focused exclusively on Web 2.0 and Social Media news, with more than 15 million monthly pageviews. We've worked with them to create mobile applications for the iPad and Android platforms. Today, Apple's Mac App Store launched and we're proud to have an application that we've built as one of the launch titles - Mashable! for Mac.

Mashable! for Mac gives you to the ability to read the latest news from many Mashable news categories, right on your desktop in its own dedicated application -- without opening your browser. You get a simple but intuitive interface that lets you navigate easily through the news categories and filter down to what articles you want to read. You are also able to view the comments for each article and post your own comments without leaving the article or the application.

You can also take your Mashable reading offline, since you don't need an Internet connection to read articles that you've already fetched. Mashable! for Mac is just a terrific way to read Mashable on your desktop. There will be many more great features coming in the near future.

If you wish to download the app, make sure that you're running the latest version of Mac OS X (10.6.6). Next, look for Mashable in the Mac App Store. We'd love to hear your feedback.

Intridea offers services for application development on all major platforms, which include Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and Palm webOS. If you need help with your mobile application feel free to contact us for a quote.

Mashable is one of the world's largest blogs focused exclusively on Web 2.0 and Social Media news, with more than 15 million monthly pageviews. We were very excited to develop an application just for them, specific to the Android platform. Not too long ago, we announced that we developed their iPad application. Now, we're excited to announce that Mashable! for Android (mobile specific link) is available in the Android Marketplace.

The Android platform is such a great platform to develop for. There are unique challenges that make development more exciting, such as different hardware and software versions to support. What is most exciting is the end result: a clean and intuitive application that offers the best way for any Android user to read the latest news from Mashable.

Reading the latest news from Mashable is just one thing you can do with the application. With Mashable! for Android, you can also share what you're reading in several different ways. You can e-mail the article to a friend, share it on Twitter or Facebook, and you can also save it to Read Later on Instapaper. You can read comments for each article and even join the discussion by posting your own comments.

Mashable! for Android is now available for free in the Android Marketplace. Also, you can expect some exciting new features for Mashable! for Android soon. There are some great new features that are in the works. Intridea offers services for application development on all major mobile platforms, which include iPad, iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and Palm webOS.

“Mashable is excited to launch our new iPad app and we think Intridea has done a fantastic job. There’s high demand for Mashable on the iPad, and we think our readers will be as excited as we are about the launch”, Pete Cashmore, CEO of Mashable, Inc.

Mashable is one of the world’s largest blogs focused exclusively on Web 2.0 and Social Media news, with more than 15 million monthly pageviews. We were very excited when approached to develop their iPad application. Mashable already had a very popular iPhone application and it was our job to figure out the best way to take advantage of the iPad’s increased real-estate and new user interface to be able to deliver something that all of their readers would enjoy.

One of the best things about the iPad is that it’s a wonderful device for reading. Whether you’re reading the news, a book, or a comic, the increased screen size makes the experience much more enjoyable. We wanted to make reading the latest articles on Mashable just as enjoyable. Not only can you see the latest news from all of their different news channels, but the articles themselves are formatted in a way that makes them very easy to read.

There are many other applications that allow you to read news on the iPad, but none of them take into account the way that you hold the iPad. Normally, when you hold the iPad with two hands, your thumbs are able to touch the screen. Other iPad applications have very un-intuitive ways of jumping to the next article by having small buttons on either the top left or top right corner of the window. We took into account the way that people hold their iPads and enabled them to easily go from article to article just by tapping on either side of the window.

Reading the latest news from Mashable is just some of what you can do with the application. With Mashable! for iPad, you can also share what you’re reading in many different ways. You can e-mail the article to a friend, share it on Twitter or Facebook, and you can also save it to Read Later on Instapaper.

Mashable! for iPad is now available for free on the App Store. Also, you can expect some exciting new features for Mashable! for iPad soon. There are some great new features that are in the works.
