Several inspiring demo’s have popped up of magazine, newspaper and book publishers experimenting with their content for the iPad platform. Wired is as good as ready, staying quite close to the magazine format we all know and love. VIV Mag is trying an approach that can be best described as ‘dvd menu movies’. Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf adds lots of video. And Penguin Books shows what a touchscreen and sensors might do for their content.
We see strange choices and nice touches. Most of all we see eagerness to try out and explore this new platform. We’re on the same page. We’ve ordered an iPad and can’t wait to start playing.
i am planning to buy an iPad since it looks lighter than a regular desknote and i don not use much of the features of a laptop.-.*
