Read (Selected) Zinio e-magazines for free!

Bump into this article, interesting and I am able to view it.
zinio

iPhone users have it all - to the extent that they are able to read selected Zinio e-magazines for free using the Safari browser on the iPhone. But, the rest of us, the mere mortals, should have no fear - some enterprising chappie has found a way for us to enjoy those same e-magazines that iPhone users are reading, all for free!
Here are the steps to enjoy your free read:

  1. download/use the Firefox browser
  2. download and install the "User Agent Switcher" extension
  3. in the extension's options, add a new user agent, name it anything you wish. In the "User Agent" field, paste this:

    Code:
    Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/4A102 Safari/419 (United States)

  4. Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/4A102 Safari/419 (United States)

  5. switch to the new "fake" user agent that you just created, ie. select it
  6. visit this page
  7. read any magazine on that page for free!
