I'm Still Waiting for a Great iPad Magazine

Wired's app is $5. I could buy a subscription to the magazine, for a year, for around $10. A year of Wired purchased from the App Store would cost $60. Conde is apparently working on a unified pricing scheme across print and digital for the New Yorker, so maybe it'll filter over to Wired? Who knows. I know it must have cost a ton to develop this thing, but readers don't care about that: They care about the words. These words cost too much. (Also, it's not like this magazine doesn't have ads. It's got a ******* ton of ads.)

A good article on the start of how magazine companies are taking to the digital era. Things like the iPad, Nook, Kindle, etc., but is the old way the right way? Is taking something once great and putting it similarly on a digital screen enough?
