Yahoo! is joining the computer tablet bandwagon with a digital magazine designed for the iPad.
The magazine software is called Livestand. It can be customised to pull content from Yahoo!'s website and other participating publishers to cater to each user's interest.
Yahoo! is counting on Livestand to keep its brand and services relevant as more people embrace Apple's iPad and other mobile devices to consume digital content. Yahoo! also hopes the magazine brings in more advertising revenue as it tries to break out of a long-running financial issue.
The slump has frustrated investors and thrown Yahoo!'s fate into doubt.
Livestand is debuting nearly nine months after Yahoo! first previewed it. At that time, Yahoo! hoped to introduce Livestand by the end of June.
