Sir Richard Branson's "Project"


Billionaire and founder of the famous Virgin brand, Sir Richard Branson has a new venture. He will be publishing a new magazine called "Project" that will be 100% digital available for the iPad and in the future available for other tablet platforms.

I truly feel that tablets are the future of print because of it's ability to better engage the reader using video and sound.  Print may not totally go away but we are just at the tip of the iceberg with this technology.  As more and more companies make these devices, pricing will go down and they will be more widely available.  



Could Tablets like the iPad be the Future of Print Media?

1/31/10 Update: I just read that the new iPads don't support Adobe Flash (no video images). Click here to read the article from Merinews.com. That changes everything for me. Until they do, I won't consider investing in this. As always, another company will surely come along and develop something just like it that will support Flash.

I have to admit, I am a technology geek. Apple has now come out with the Ipad which looks really cool. It isn't the first attempt at a tablet but this one looks really advanced in functionality. I'll have to be patient to read all the consumer reviews once they're out in the market for a while before I make a final buying decision.
