Opera submitted the new Opera Mini 5 for iPhone to Apple App Store on March 23, 12:25 UTC. Although this new Mini does not break any of App Store’s rules, Apple's response is very uncertain.

The Opera Mini 5 makes Safari look so slow. That is why iPhone will probably reject the super fast Mini 5. Do you want to win a brand new iPhone? If so, you have to sign up on My Opera and guess when Apple will approve the new Mini.

VIVmag, the first digital lifestyle magazine for women, has just released two videos on Vimeo  that show an interactive iPad version of its content. The magazine is going to cost 36 USD for a yearly subscription of six editions, or 6 USD per issue.

The co-directors Cory Strassburger and Ming Hsiung said: “We produced a motion magazine cover and feature spread for Viv Mag – an all digital magazine, which would allow us to create content that will be able to live on the iPad and other tablet devices where digital magazines can live”. Jeanniey Mullen, VIVmag’s chief marketing officer, said that the first edition is going to include a Fandango “Sex and the City 2″ advertisement, and interactive spreads for Kia Motors and Estée Lauder.

The videos below, created by Alexx Henry and Andrew Grant, were recorded with a RED ONE M-X sensor. The first video is a Feature Article Spread and the other one is a Motion cover.  Definitely, the use of that sensor and actors has permitted to create a new medium for infotainment but do you think that this digital magazine will be worth every penny of your 36 USD?
