Eyemags has announced that it's launching new functionality that'll allow users to "install" its pages onto their iPhones and iPod touches. The app will let users save pages from the Eyemags mobile website onto their homescreens, like they were applications, and then access that content even when offline.

Those applications can be built by a web developer and can include HTML5 standards. Eyemags is saying that this allows developers to bypass Apple's lengthy approvals process if they're just building simple applications, billing it as "the peoples' app store".

It's free to create apps at the time of writing, but from 16 November a charge will be levied on publishers. A larger charge can also be applied if you want your app to be built into a more traditional "native" iPhone application. To see Eyemags pages in action, try going to http://eyemags.com/23 on your iPhone browser, or hit play on the video above.

  • EyeMags is actually doing more than this article implies. It allows non-developers to create their own iPhone applications. Now you just have to have good content you don't need to know anything about the technology. Posted by Robin Jewsbury, UK
