Now things are getting interesting. Time has released a video demo of their latest demo of a future tablet magazine. There is a Time app on the iPad but it is not very inspiring – this however is much richer and has some nice UI touches and unique gestures.
But the production of this sort of rich content will be expensive to produce, and the tools needed to deliver this form of new media have yet to be developed. How they intend to do this is not clear, but there is clearly an opportunity to develop a DTP tool for tablet magazine creation. The format is evolving and it is interesting to watch, and more interesting to play a part in its development.
