PHUKET: Long a leader in online publishing, the Phuket Gazette has taken a leap into the handheld space with crisp and functionally ‘immediate’ new Apps for both the iPad and iPhone. And though only a couple of weeks into these new media, the company is more than pleased with the response. “These were basically R&D-type projects for us. I don’t think anyone here thought they would lead to so much market interest. We’re looking for download number 400 before the end of this week, meaning an annual rate of something close to 9,600 – right from the start,” said Gazette publisher John Magee.
