Mashable is one of the world's largest blogs focused exclusively on Web 2.0 and Social Media news, with more than 15 million monthly pageviews. We've worked with them to create mobile applications for the iPad and Android platforms. Today, Apple's Mac App Store launched and we're proud to have an application that we've built as one of the launch titles - Mashable! for Mac.

Mashable! for Mac gives you to the ability to read the latest news from many Mashable news categories, right on your desktop in its own dedicated application -- without opening your browser. You get a simple but intuitive interface that lets you navigate easily through the news categories and filter down to what articles you want to read. You are also able to view the comments for each article and post your own comments without leaving the article or the application.

You can also take your Mashable reading offline, since you don't need an Internet connection to read articles that you've already fetched. Mashable! for Mac is just a terrific way to read Mashable on your desktop. There will be many more great features coming in the near future.

If you wish to download the app, make sure that you're running the latest version of Mac OS X (10.6.6). Next, look for Mashable in the Mac App Store. We'd love to hear your feedback.

Intridea offers services for application development on all major platforms, which include Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and Palm webOS. If you need help with your mobile application feel free to contact us for a quote.
