I was told about this a month ago at a meeting at Time Inc and now I can publish it. Expect Conde Nast to make a similar interface for all their magazines. This is why if you are a photographer and you are not doing motion, you are on the soon to be extinct list. Of course, if Apple or whoever brings this out at $2,000 a unit, that is another story. But if they can bring it out in the $500 range, this will be a game changer. Full motion content, full motion ads. What do you think is going to happen to the web sites. My guess is they are going to cut them back, if not turn them off for non paying customers. I expect an iTunes sort of deal for the tablet subscriptions. Thrilling to be alive to see all this happen around us.
