Whats disappointing is that Apple’s mini gives us publishers no way to detect a small device to publish differently to it.

The rise of the IPAD was never supposed to increase the subscription rates of legacy print magazines. The growth of the tablet marketplace was “supposed” to be a signal to content providers that they needed to adjust, adapt and then evolve their thinking about the changing media consumption patterns of their readers and this new publishing platform. While Mr. Carey continues to extol the virtues of print magazines….it appears that he is in a state of denial about the role that tablets will play with his readers in the years ahead.What Hearst needs to do is create an entirely new suite of tablet based publications that stand apart from their legacy brands. It’s not going to happen…but that’s what they should do.

The lack of on going software development (tech) and R&D within publishing hurt those companies more than the size of the iPad/Tablet, the same principle applies to book publishing and record companies (online music) how these companies exist with out real in house software tech expertise boggles the mind. They want some third party to pay them and do all the work and then complain when those same companies past them up.
