New+Notable: October 2011 Archives

Yahoo's Livestand and Google's Propeller are expected to enter a crowded digital tablet newsstand next week--joining scial magazine apps, like Flipboard, TweetMag, CNN's Zite, and Editions by AOL.

These apps are another vision of what magazines could be for tablets: great utilities, updated frequently, with easy navigation and social media in their DNA -- all with beautiful magazine-like interfaces. For traditional print publications, the magic will be a combination of this type utility and interface, with the bespoke design and content of a printed publication. Once this happens, we will have truly reinvented magazines for tablets.
