How Wired will look on the iPad. http://bit.ly/dCLGmh
is this an experience that users will value enough to pay for? could it be a challenge to the 'free content' business model favored by most publishers...

Who's gonna be paying for all that extra multimedia content...
doesn't make any financial sense to make something like this when users just want to read content.CDROM 2.0
- advertisers will pay more -SlashPeckham
- will they? to get a smaller audiencequantelpaintbox
- why would adding a million iPad customers be a smaller audience?monospaced
- make a website or a youtube video and get the iPad audience for free...quantelpaintbox
- People who own iPads will match a demographic which will be v. appealing to many advertisers (especially companies who advertise in wired)lukus_W

The Ipad , same as a website but you use your finger. God these people talk like they have just revolutionized the bloody web.

Not true at all pillhead. The website doesn't offer a subscription service or a way to read an entire issue, nor does it offer interactive stories.
- which was the whole point of the web, a 'new medium'... the website is a rich enough experienceckentish
- yeah, but the iPad is a format that fits in your hand, not in a laptop and not on a deskmonospaced

I stopped buying Wired years ago, because the ratio of advertising to content seemed to be ridiculously out of proportion.
I wonder if the iPad will allow people to get rid of advertising ... will an AdBlockPro be developed for iPad publications? Would this even be possible?

- GAH! I clicked once .. I wish QBN could add a filter to stop double posts from occurring.lukus_W
- admit it, you clicked twicemonospaced
- I don't think I did monospaced .. unless I did a doubleclick without realising?lukus_W

Don't think it even needs to be an app... the html5 players play within the page on the iPad (or at least they do on the emulator)
and the panning and scrolling is native to safari if used correctly

Seriously why would anyone give a shit what a print magazine about the fucking internet is even doing, I can't imagine a more irrelevant publication.
Also this is the 3rd time the print magazine format has tried to squeeze into a new media, it didn't work with CDROM, it didn't work with PDF and it won't work when we replace the mouse with a finger.
- You don't know anything about Wired, do you?monospaced
- It's not about replacing the mouse, dude, it's about replacing the magazine.monospaced
- you actually read fucking wired?quantelpaintbox

Funny things to note: What you see in the video isn't even an iPad. And the prototype is actually being developed, ironically, in Flash. So basically, it's a 'fancy' Flash-esque UI (that is no different than any site ever made by group94.com, etc) that simply shows static pages with little bits of interactivity.
There is nothing to talk about whatsoever here -- until it's actually living on an iPad, working in HTML5, being maintained with web-specific content as shown. Otherwise, it's just a Flash website being demoed on a completely different tablet.
- Yeah, that's actually developed with Adobe Air and need the flash player to run.ItalianStallion
