iPad Magazines
Time to start your magazine design for tablets. I’m sure that Apple will insure that the iBookstore will have a proper selection of magazines. And iPad magazines will make reading a magazine the ultimate iPad reader experience! From $499!
This changes the media landscape for publishers. Forever.

Speaking from the point of view of a reader (I am not an author or a publisher) … one who reads and subscribes to a LOT of magazines … I can’t wait for this!! I have a kindle and love it, but I would never subscribe to a newspaper or a magazine on it; it’s just too small, and it’s not color. Great for books; for magazines, not so much.
BUT … if the magazines I subscribe to become available on the iPad, I will buy it (and them) in a nanosecond. I would even pay the same price for the e-subscription as I would for the “hard copies” I get now … copies that I read once and then into the recycling bin (and environment) they go.
The rest of the iPad functions don’t interest me much (maybe video stuff … I do have an iPod Touch and watching videos is okay, but pretty small). But, the magazine/newspaper reader function is what will make me buy it.

I’m excited about this too! It’s the excellence of the content delivery and established stores that has huge potential for publications. I just hope that we see the Apple iBookstore branded as “Books and Magazines” or at least a front shelf position for periodicals once you access the store.

For the iPad we can expect that the Apple iPad SDK will be the sole platform. A broader emagazine storefront perhaps driven by the MPA and larger publishing groups should base their publications on very open standards and have the capability to allow publishers to become listed using a wide array of options.
