While we are on the subject of magazines, I thought it wise to mention one of my favorite print publications, Wired, and the future it is entering with the development of an iPad friendly version of the magazine.  As you can see in the video below, the user experience of traditional print media and new multimedia rich online content is soon to be married in the immanent media renaissance via a variety of tablet devices entering the market similar to and including Apple’s iPad.

I agree that this is where the tablet will see its best use: the tried and true presentation of words and pictures mixed with the on demand media at the touch of a finger our generation has grown a custom to.  These are definitely exciting times for publishers and advertisers alike, as well as consumers eager to interact with what interests them in new ways.  We are optimistic that the tablet publications will not be the death of print media as a whole, but rather the ushering in of a new era in media consumption.
