Apple Tablet to Challenge Print Media?
Apple Tablet to Challenge Print Media?
October 3, 2009 3:20 PM
Gizmodo reports that Apple may be challenging the Kindle with an upcoming tablet:
Two people related to the NYTimes have separately told me that in June, paper was approached by Apple to talk about putting the paper on a "new device." The R&D labs have long worked on versions of the paper meant to be navigated without a keyboard or mouse, showing up on Windows tablets and on multiple formats using Adobe Air. The NYTimes, of course, also publishes via their iPhone application. Jobs has, during past keynotes, called the NYTimes the "best newspaper in the world."

Re: Apple Tablet to Challenge Print Media?
I've been waiting for a large-format, color eReader-type device. If Apple's tablet does a decent job at mimicking paper (i.e. good image clarity without backlighting), then I would be very interested in something like this.
