The iPad is like everything Apples makes… excellent. The largest threat to print media to date.

Great job Apple! Love my Macbook Pro too!

You are right that the iPad shouldn’t be ignored. Even if the iPad is not a huge hit the format is going to be and we as web designers should be making touch friendly interfaces.

In France newspapers are also facing a big crisis ….
Partly because, like me, many are now reading them online …
But also because there is so many free PRINTED newspapers ….
When I am taking the subway everyday I am handed over no less than 5 newspapers (3 in the morning, one in the evening + the weekly edition of an other) ….
I only buy a newspaper when it is offering special content not available online (like covering a national comics convention, with interviews of artists and exclusive drawings from them …)

Your criticisms are valid. I will try to stay more focused on my next article and have a more satisfying conclusion.

Hi Eli, I’m sorry but I was with you until you brought the iPad into the equation unnecessarily – why the iPad over any other product that surfs the internet? Mobile phones, laptops, netbooks, desktops, and I’m sure a lot more that I can’t think off. What makes the iPad so special that it’ll save the Newspaper industry (if they embrace it)?

In fact, your whole argue seemed a bit off to me. When reading, I felt that I should be hearing solutions to the problem, but all I got was “The End is Nigh”, buy all the newspapers you can while their still around.

To be honest, I just got confused. What was the point you were trying to make? I wouldn’t say that you contradicted yourself, but to me, your message wasn’t clear. Are you saying that the future of online news is blogs? Viewed on iPads of course… I’m sorry about if I want ACTUAL news, I want it to be creditable, and for that, generally speaking, I look off-line.
