Say hello to Engadget Distro. At its most molecular level, it’s nothing greater than a chain of ones and zeros, cobbled together in a compiler and made to see like words and pictures on Apple’s iPad. But essentially, it’s something far greater — something that all the Engadget staff couldn’t be more proud to have their names on. Distro is the week in technology news, distilled down and reformatted right into a beautiful, offline view which might be enjoyed anywhere. You recognize, like a kind of regional jets still awaiting their rightful Gogo injection. We have now a team of designers and editors toiling across the clock to collect our greatest long-form feature content and reviews, re-wrapping it in a way that takes full good thing about slightly thing called “multitouch.”
As of now, we’ve plans to launch Distro at the iPad soon (as in, super soon!), but that you can bet we’re already hammering away on versions for the opposite major tablet platforms. Rest assured, we’re as wanting to finish them as anyone, and yes, they’ll all be absolutely for free. In case you find themselves a little overwhelmed with the sheer torrent of stories that happens on this space every day, Distro offers a chilled, peaceful alternative. Style of like morphine, but available sans a prescription. We’ll be showing off a sneak peek during tonight’s live Engadget Show (tune in here !), and we’ll be sure you keep you abreast of our launch date because it draws closer. For now, observe what Distro will herald the video after the break. We are hoping you enjoy.
