“Wired Magazine Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson announced at the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference on Friday that the publication would be releasing its content for the iPad by summer,” Kim Zetter reports for Wired.
“The first iPads are expected to be available at the end of March. TED attendees got a demonstration — on what looked like a supersized iPad — of how their future reading experience would look with the March issue of Wired magazine,” Zetter reports. “‘I’m from the media world,’ Anderson told the audience ‘and as you may have heard, we have lots of questions about our future. The good news is I think we found part of the answer…. We think this is a game changer.'”
“Anderson said the iPad allows periodicals for the first time to do digital content with all of the same values and artistic range that are the hallmark of print magazines,” Zetter reports.
“Readers can sift through the contents horizontally and when they find an article they want to read, touch and drag their finger on the first page vertically to browse through the pages up and down,” Zetter reports. “They can also turn the device horizontally to take advantage of the automatically-rotating display to view two pages side by side like a magazine and zoom out to see thumbnails of the content all at once.”
Zetter reports, “The device allows for integrated media so readers can read a product review and touch a photo to jump into a video of the product. Advertisements can also be interactive. Clark touched a Camaro ad to flip the car around 360 degrees.”

Slowly but surely, everyone is starting to come around….
Aftershocks
YES!!
It would be better if one could flick the camaro ad of fthe page entirely!
Wow. Wired usually hates all things Apple.
And now imagine interactive text books 😀 school will finaly be fun
Yeah, biology text books with interactive human reproduction videos are sure to be popular!
mw: making, as in out!!
Yup! Because the World needs a Giant iDud Touch for $500 because people are easily led into buying Hype. Glad to see you’ve proved me right. 1 month or 10 months…. its a FRICKING iDudTOUCH intent on sucking $$$ from your wallet instead of spending it on your family or a worth while cause. SO- TELL ME? How much did CRAPPLE donate to Haiti?? Or other causes??? I cant find one. I can find the “Gates Foundation” but I dont see any “Stevee Foundation”.
BTW Tablet PC ‘s have been around while with screens that swivel and you can write on. So the iDud costs less and does less than a functional tablet pc? Typical pathethic hype…

LOL, PC-huggers have so many issues, starting with immaturity!
The “Gates Foundation” only exists because he was told if he didn’t start giving back he would be one of the most vilified people in history. In other words, it’s a publicity stunt, does donating PCs to kids do anything other than line his own pockets?
MW = bad, like Bill Gates
@I’m a PC
Ignorant trolls are not appreciated here, nor in real life, which is probably why you choose to spend your time in cyberspace where it’s easier for you to pretend anybody cares about your profound wisdom.
I’m a PC – unregistered. Says it all really.
@I’m a PC: Please grow up and try to put a real live thinking cap on. The tablets that have been around suck. Period. You probably salready know this but,like many irrational Apple-haters, simply cannot admit it. Whether the iPad will prove to be as revolutionary as some think remains to be seen. I think it will be, but whether it is or not won’t change the fact that PC tablets suck.
What this has to do with Haiti is beyond me. Haiti is a true tragedy. And if you don’t want to buy Apple products because Apple is not sufficiently high profile on humanitarian causes for your tastes, that is your prerogatove. But it has little, if anything, to do with the merits of a specific product.
Again, grow up and try a little objectivity. You were apparently born with enough of a brain to figure out how to use a PC and post here on a Mac news site. Use that brain a little.
P.S. Just a littrle reminder: the user interface war is over. Apple won. All consumer computers are essenially a variant of the interface that germinated at PARC and was developed by Apple. Some of them, like your PC, are just a little more retarded than others. The next generation, when computers actually start to serve humans, rather than ther other way around, was announced on January 27, 2010.
@Mr. Reeee
“Wow. Wired usually hates all things Apple.”
They all seem to hate Apple until Apple shows them how to make money with Apple.

Looks like I’m a PC did not do his homework. Apple is donating all of the revenue from the “We are the World sales to Haiti. Granted that is only 33¢ on the dollar from Apple but it will add up quickly.
@ I’m a PC
Bill Gates giving money to charity is great.
But when he was making all those bucks he’s now giving away he was one of the most ruthless players in the business world. As one associate described it “when Bill plays he wants to walk away with all the marbles”.
Reminds me of the Renaissance warlords who donated money to churches in their old age.
As for Steve Jobs who knows what he does with his money? You can give money anonymously. We know that Steve Jobs is intensely private, how many photos of his wife and children have you seen in spite of the media frenzy around him? We see Bill and Melinda Gates all over in the press showing them giving money away.
Steve Jobs has a one dollar a year salary from Apple since his return more than a decade ago, he hasn’t sold a single share of Apple stock except some for income tax purposes and last quarters financials shows that he doesn’t have a bonus or stock options. Billionaire Ballmer still has a salary from Microsoft plus bonus (although Msft has declined from 600 billion market cap to 250 billion market cap under his tenure vs Apple which grew from less than 10 billion to 180 billion under Steve Jobs).
I don’t know the source, but recently heard a quote that would seem to apply nicely to the iPad.
“The greater the doubt, the greater the enlightenment will be”
@GS: very good.
After all the evil he has created, after all the IP he has stolen, after all the vile threats he has made, he is now using his ill gotten gains to buy his way into heaven.
Good luck with that plan Billy. Might as well go for it. You can’t take it with you when you slip these mortal coils.
I’m a PC: the poor man’s Zune Tang.
Whatever happened to Zinio? I tried them for a year on my last magazine subscription before I decided print was dead to me and the magazine format wasn’t working in the cyber world.
I’ll give the iPad a chance, but if the publishing community continues to produce magazine with 45 day old data, this won’t work.
One thing about paper, you can share it, dismantle it, store just the pages you want for later review. Same with the internet as it is now. With a closed system, are we going to be allowed screen shots, copying, sharing, or will it be closed like movies on iTunes?
It may be too soon to consider jail breaking, but I’d have a lot less issue doing it on an iPad then I would an iPhone.
Hope Wired issues can be saved for future reading rather than just “streaming” the current issue.
“i’m a pc” is one reason the tech support jobs are in bangalore. also, he’s not a poor man’s zune tang because he is not trying to be satirical. he is actually serious.
@GS…BINGO. w/cogitoergomac:
apple did not win the interface war, xerox did. what they did do that xerox could not was slowly enlighten the masses to the potential of a gui strapped on a computer. neither apple or xerox was able to sustain monetization of the potential on the desktop metaphor. apple is carrying on the campaign quite nicely in the mobile metaphor.
actually this is more a journey than a war. apple sees this while their competitors only see the war. the journey is to use inorganic devices to advance the quality of life of mankind. it might be productivity or entertainment, but all this is still the journey. everyone else basically tries to monetize their chosen part of a market. apple looks at markets as challenges and platforms to create new ones, not a battlefield. they live blue ocean strategy.
I think that supporting the brain dead is a very noble cause and in Im a Pc we have all contributed enormously.
@cogitoergomac
Eaaaaaaaaasy hair trigger.
It *might be* that ‘I’m a PC’ is a pretend pet troll? In other words it might be possible that ‘I’m a PC’ tongue is firmly embedded in his/her check….
Or it could be that ‘I’m a PC’ is a jerkoff. I am voting for the first.
Cheers
The more you see people comment negatively, the more they show there fear. Fear of backing the wrong technology. Betting on the wrong horse. The iPad is already big, and it hasn’t even shipped.
