Steve Jobs Rumored to Have Recently Traveled to New York for iPad Media Talks

If I am going to purchase an iPad, I will want to because it allows me to consume media in a new way. Specifically magazines and newspapers. I want the SI demo for all magazines and cool newspaper articles. I want my local paper in my iPad and if I want a coupon, I should be able to send it via email to myself or bump it to my iPhone.
I think is going to have to get more creative than a typed story and a photograph...
Like these guys do it:

And that's where the ipad will start to be useful.

Apple will be a company producing robot sooner or later. The iRob / iBot / iRot is going to be the next revolutional product.
I find it most interesting that Jobs came to New York to sell people on his product, instead of the opposite.
Why fly 50 people over to Cali when he himself can just go to them while they are all in 1 building already.
+100000
Not sure it's enough to make me buy an iPad but I'd happily pay for an electronic subscription to Time (and other mags) as long as it looks as good as the print. The Kindle version is a TOTAL FAIL.
The best part of the entire article:
"But last night, Jobs came strolling in wearing what our source calls a very funny hat a big top hat kind of thing. Jobs, who is recovering from a liver transplant last year, requested a mango lassi and penne (neither of which are on the Southern Asian restaurants menu, but with a shiny new iPad maybe in it for him, its not like the chef was going to say no).
LOL.
It sounds like Page 6 of the NY Post or something.

Sweet.
What I really like about Zinio, is that now they have an iPhone/iPod touch version. And any magazine that you have subscribed to on the desktop version will be available for download on the iPhone/iPod touch verison when it becomes available.
I see that now MacWorld is available.
Makes sense.
He wanted fly there himself to make sure that his iPad could play movies for the 6 hr trip on his Gulfstream.
Think about it. I know most people don't think about the ads or might not want them in eMags, but how many times did an add catch your eye in a print mag, and then you would have to go look up the company, product, etc. if you wanted to learn more. As an eMag, the ads you would see normally in the same print version, could also be set up so you can click on the ad and be taken elsewhere. I REALLY like the possibilities.
WOW!!!!!!! playboy.....+ iPad... looks like the 2011 adult convention at Las Vegas will have tech advancements.
(not that i endorse this)I would buy the iPad (even with all the missing features it was supposed to have) for the sole reason of being able to buy magazines/subcriptions on itunes and reading them in a rich media centric way on the iPad.
I think that would be a bigger hit than ebooks for Apple/magazine industry.

Hmm, I wonder how those "smelly" inserts for cologne, perfume, etc will work on the iPad
I'm sure there'll be an 'App for that'.
Ohhh Wow , I am Ever So Exited about finding new ways to spend my money on monthly services ! Can I buy my stupid Magazines Directly, Or is there an App to Directly bleed the money from my Ass-Hole ?
Surely now that the iPad has brought along a larger screen all the magazine publishers need to do is make apps and deliver their content through in app purchasing. Then they can make their interactive digital magazines however they want to. Unless they are hoping for a separate store and more favorable terms of course.
The higher quality the magazine, the less it gets out of date. I read the Esquire with many high quality articles for example. The research and cost that goes into many of these articles ensures they will not be outdated.
The magazines that are being killed, are those that provide low quality badly researched content such as People and FHM and magazines that basically summarize news. For these magazines, you can basically surf the web and get the same info.
If you are into what Lindsey Lohan did yesterday, than a website is the place to go. If you seek quality articles that are well researched and have cost money, than you will find those in magazines that are still thriving today and who will be successful on the iPad.
Yes, I wonder why this is news. Steve Jobs in a meeting. Might as well report what he ate.

No sticky keyboards for starters.
Will playboy, penthouse, etc. be allowed? That alone would make this device successful. Mmmmmmmm, playboy......drooling (for the articles of course).
They will have an accessory that plugs onto the bottom connector to extend the screen when you get to the foldout.
It will take some time for the print media to figure out how to optimize itself for the new electronic format.
When television first became available it was made available a lot like radio. For news, a man stood in front of a large microphone and read the news from a sheaf of papers he held in his hand ... just like radio but you could watch him read.
Also, there was a lot of speculation that TV would "kill" radio at some point. While it didn't, it did force radio to adapt. The internet is forcing the print media to adapt as well. The iPad may be only a stepping stone to a different form of what we have someday. How well the print media imagine how to exploit the possibilities will determine what the end will look like.
