Alibro Ltd is a new startup founded in Oct 2009 by Robin Jewsbury who previously co-founded RefreshMobile Ltd which created Mippin and Mobizines products.
Alibro Ltd is the holding company for the EyeMags product. EyeMags is a personal content application builder. It was running as an experimental product within RefreshMobile between 2007 and 2009. During that time over 9000 magazines/applications were created. The distinction from other similar systems is that the apps are fully self contained they do not go online in normal use cases as all the content is included in the app - this mirrors the real word user experience of going to a shop and physically picking up a magazine. In the case of the iPhone the app works in different ways to as described above.

EyeMags is a personal content mobile apps builder for all phones. It does for Apps what You-tube did for Video.
The apps created are currently simple media apps with pictures and text, but this will change in the future. The apps created are small magazines which are downloaded and installed in totality on the phone and therefore there is no need for further network activity. For technical reasons the iPhone version works slightly differently, but even that is fully functional offline - iPhone apps are installable webapps and do not need to be installed from or QA’ed by iTunes. For Nokia touch phones the WRT technology is used and for all other phones J2ME is used. The solution for Android will be available late 2009.
As of the launch date in Oct 2009, the EyeMags system had been available as a prototype system for 2 years. During those 2 years over 9,000 apps were created and tens of millions were downloaded in period when there was no marketing and little software development from the initial work. It was this success which promoted the founder to form a separate company just for the development and promotion of EyeMags.
