Zinio's magazine app has certainly made the rounds -- [Android slabs][3], the [Kindle Fire][4], the [iPad][5] and even the ill-fated [TouchPad][6] have had their shining moment with the digital service -- but months of "consideration" for their platform have BlackBerry PlayBook owners feeling left out in the cold. Zinio, however, recently tweeted that a PlayBook app is coming "real soon," and one prospective customer decided to fish for more details by taking drastic measures: good, old, greasy bribery. The enterprising Twitter user promised to subscribe to more magazines if the company would tell him when the app is coming out and, well, it _actually worked_. PlayBook owners can apparently expect to read mags like _Rolling Stone_, _Maxim _and _The Economist_ via the Zinio app by "mid March." Coupled with the release of [BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0][7] on Feb. 21, it seems like RIM's faithful tablet owners are finally starting to get some much needed attention.
[Zinio caves to begging, says BlackBerry PlayBook app landing in March][2] originally appeared on [Engadget][8] on Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:25:00 EDT. Please see our [terms for use of feeds][9].
