Now of course this is a proof of concept and not actually “real” just yet, but what Bonnier have realized is something of marvel. With all the buzz about the soon to come Apple Tablet, concepts like this have been popping up everywhere in the search of what the perfect magazine publishing format and experience should be on reading devices of the near future.
Forget the Kindle, Nook or any other gen 1 handheld e-reader – I’m pretty sure my iPhone or any smartphone for that matter could do just a good job or displaying black text on a white background – what I’m more interested in will be the next phase of publishing on handheld devices…Bonnier thank you showing us a glimpse of what’s to come.
Nice concept. The underlying format would have to be different than say PDF or HTML or the other popular ebook formats, although I’m guessing one of the above (besides pdf, heh) could be tweaked to monkey the demo. Very slick.
When is full page color going to be added to be these tablets. The format may be .png the iphone graphics are .png. The future of publishing is going to be held in the palm of your hand. No more wallets, your phone is your wallet/purse/your i.d./medical records, etc.
