Apple Media Event Tomorrow, Any Ideas?

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Events" @ 09:00 AM

"Apple is holding a media event on March 2nd, and it's about the iPad 2 for sure. Get news and analysis as it happens by tuning in to the Hardware 2.0 live coverage event."

I think it's pretty likely the iPad 2 announcement will be part of this event tomorrow, but what else do you think will be announced? Any thoughts?

How Do You Devour Media on Your iPad?

"The historical media verticals of radio, television, print and Web evaporate inside the frame of an iPad - it's all just content, backlighted and inviting, waiting for the swipe of a finger. Long-form narrative and news has found a reliable wing man in the iPad."

I do like the free Reuters News Pro app for iPad, pictured above, as well as the $1.99 USD New York Post app [affiliate link]. Netflix is one that I also use frequently, along with Instapaper [affiliate link] for later reading. I also might add the New York Times to this list, at least for now since it is free, and the same goes for the USA Today app. How about you? What media apps do you like to use on your iPad?

Unfair Subscription Pricing for iPad Owners?

"If you thought online news would be free forever, perhaps it's time to think again. Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corp., announced during that company's third-quarter earnings call that in "three to four weeks" it would be announcing a subscription model for news and other digital content. The impetus? None other than Apple's iPad."

Not sure if this is what they had in mind when it was called a "game changer" but this is what it has led to apparently. The Wall Street Journal isn't the only one with this in mind as the New York Times and USA Today area also stating they will be charging for subscriptions for service on the iPad. I don't mind paying subscriptions on the iPad because of the convenience factor is worth it to me, but I don't want to get raked over the coals by paying the same price as print version. For instance, you can get a combo online/print subscription to the Wall Street Journal for $140.00 USD per year ($11.67 USD per month) so why is the Wall Street Journal punishing you for owning an iPad and charging you roughly $200.00 USD per year ($3.99 USD per week)? The ridiculous pricing extends to some magazines too, such as Time magazine where they charge $4.99 USD for the digital version (the print version sells for $4.95 USD). What are your thoughts?
