POP SCI seems to be really turning the corner on what a magazine on a tablet could be. GQ and TIME seem like early web versions of posting the "multimedia" issue online.

I can say as a publication designer I like working with the iPad. One small headache out of the way... the printer. Also we are using Apple's SDK not Adobe to develop our apps.

]]>Good point with the pricing problem... I have all the magazine apps out now and feel the pricing and business models are not working.
What EW has done is made their Must List available for free (Good find Josh). I am under the impression (put forth by Joe Zeff) that magazines need to offer smaller sections of their editorial content for 99 cents or less. People are familiar with the iTunes music pricing... give them that.
Below is a link to our almost completed iPad app:

I think short sections of magazines can fit perfectly into our app frame work.

from the site: "This report is based on usability studies with real users, reporting how they actually used a broad variety of iPad apps as well as websites accessed on the iPad.
We are making this report available for free to support our loyal audience of usability enthusiasts by providing them with early empirical data about iPad usability. This report is less thorough than our normal research reports and does not contain as many detailed and actionable design guidelines as we usually provide. We decided to publish the report anyway (as a donation to the community) because all experience from the last 30 years of usability shows that early usability findings have disproportionally large impact on design projects. "
Thank you x 10. Great report, very useful! Some interesting points. My team will definitely take it into consideration moving forward.
