David Emery OnlineiPad as the new Flash
3 November 2010
Too many designers and publishers see the iPad as an opportunity to do all the wrong things—things they once did in Flash—without the taint of Flash.
I still firmly think that tablet magazines – in some form, at least – make sense, although there’s starting to be a large chorus of people I respect saying otherwise. They make sense in the same way that eBooks make sense – I don’t want to buy paper magazines any more, I want to buy them on my iPad; I like reading articles in a specifically designed context and I’m happy to pay for them.
Interesting also that Jeffrey picks up on an app that makes Wikipedia look and function nicer – isn’t that in effect what an eMagazine is doing?
