Time Inc. Also Working on Digital Content In Anticipation of Apple Tablet
The ultimate design is planned to run on "whatever tablet Apple or any[one] else has up their sleeves" according to All Things Digital.
We've heard reports that magazine publishers are not standing still on the possibility of a tablet. Earlier reports indicate there are industry-wide efforts to team up to prepare for the launch of the much rumored Apple tablet. Publishers are worried that if left to its own, Apple may quickly dominate the industry like they have with iTunes music distribution.

First, with the iPod and the way we listen to music on the go. Then, the iPhone and the way we use smart phone capabilities.
Now, in anticipation of the possible Tablet, the smart companies are betting that Apple will now revolutionize the way we read newspapers and magazines or anything that's currently considered print media.
Should be an exciting time once that Tablet comes out, and hopefully it can have a positive impact on the environment in terms of paper usage as well as reducing the traditional transportation methods of that paper.
It seems that companies have learned what Apple is capable of in terms of revolutionizing the way we do things.

Kindle and Nook already exist and are starting to do the job that Apple wants to get in on.

Oh yeah, because I was forgetting that the tablet hasn't been invented already :rolleyes:

How is it even comparable? Apple can't publish magazines without the aid of the publishers like they can with music. On the flip side, the publishers will have to agree to whatever Apple offer, whether Apple makes the excuse that it won't be compatible (with their uniform designs or code) or otherwise.
Thirdly, there's more to this than meets the eye. How can they design for a new platform release they have no information about, don't even know what resolution it is or even how it will be programmed and what functionality will be supported?
..i'd rather have a physical magazine until they can match the crazy enhanced media of that SI edition with the e book style e-ink.

There were also MP3 players and smart phones before the iPod and iPhone. Exactly my point.
Was about time as well...
