Future PLC, a London-listed digital publishing group, has launched its brand new "tech" magazine on an exclusive digital platform, providing iPad users with a technology focussed weekly magazine. 

Users will be able to subscribe to the tech. magazine or purchase single issues from within the app, which will be available to download in all English-speaking countries currently available in Apple's App Store. The aim of the magazine is to collate the most important technology news stories each day, presenting them in an easy-to-read and digestible form at the end of each week. 

The company is aiming to build on the success of its technology website, TechRadar, which currently attracts more than 17 million unique users each month. CEO Nick Merritt hopes that the magazine will "bring all the really essential technology writing together into one smartly edited whole". 

iTraff, a start-up mobile image recognition software provider, has announced the launch of its new image recognition platform, bringing the revolutionary technology to e-commerce and physical retailers. 

The swift new platform allows publishers, distributors and advertisers to take advantage of a highly functional image recognition service, with users able to transform still images and real-life objects into an interactive experience on a smartphone or tablet device. The software offers the opportunity for businesses to more effectively engage customers through advertising spaces and to take further advantage of the growing trend for mobile-based shopping experiences.
