In my opinion you can not possibly get the same experience with a virtual magazine than with a normal one, however you can make it an impressive remarkable and much more interactive experience when going virtual just as it shows on the video with the different articles and adds I think that will stay in the minds of the consumers for a while, so this new platforms of magazines can give designers endless possibilities when thinking of new ways to make an add or article, they can make the experience with the reader much more memorable and personal, for this kind of gadgets, creativity has no boundaries and we should really be thankfully that we live in an era that we can use that to our advantage. Sadly not everyone will have the opportunity of experiencing this, so I hope they don’t live the normal magazines behind in a quest for trying to make their app the most memorable one.

iPad
I think the iPad is the best gadget for people who travel a lot, it would be great to have all you need to entertain yourself in one piece but other than that I don’t believe there is much use to the iPad unless you wish you had a bigger iPhone, speaking off, I wonder what will happened to it, people who already have an iPhone and can not afford an iPad are going the be left on the middle because the already existing application are going to be modified to be iPad apps and all the new ones are going to be created specifically for the iPad so what use will the iPhone with out the apps? That’s what makes it unique and desirable and with the Skype app you don’t even need the actual phone part anymore.
Also I’m not a big fan of the book store because I much rather read the book on paper because when I try to read something in the computer after a while the light starts to bother me, buts that just my way of doing stuff.
Sadly I could not find a video parody of the iPad but looking for it I found this iPhone one and thought it was funny...
