Feb 2010 New tablet interface for Wired
A few months ago I posted and circulated some work out of Sweden (Bonnier) and the UK (BERG) that was presented as a prototype for the next generation of magazines.
Then everyone went tablet crazy at CES, the iPad launched and now Wired has released their new format.
What is not surprising is that it is picking up a lot of the same design metaphores. It isn't surprising because they make sense.
My question is why is this limited to tablet devices? We can replicate this on the web and it would be a big step forward for magazine content. Especially when you consdier multi-touch track pads replacing mice as the primary pointing device.
