While the IPad was introduced last Wednesday as a tool for buying and reading books, the newspapers and publishers were not deeply addressed ... My thoughts are they could be working on a co-op budget half by the magazines / newspapers and part investors, eventually advertising subsidizing majority of the tab.
"A much as the first newspapers joined the masses in the early 1800's, it is ironic how the masses are saving the face of newspapers." Cheers to technology!
