[Infowarrior] - iPad magazine pricing

[Richard Forno]

An interesting commentary about the way stuff is being priced/marketed on the iPad.   The other day I looked around at Kindle pricing of some stuff and noticed a similar pattern....it's still cheaper to get the Economist in hardcopy than it is on the Kindle (and presumably iPad).   Based on the comments in this blog entry, the same seems to apply to other magazines/newspapers as well.  ---rick

iPad app pricing: A last act of insanity by delusional content companies

(Yes, I *might* consider an iPad Mark 2 (second-gen) as a 'gadget' or 'curiosity purchase....but I see no compelling need/reason to buy one now, nor do I see this as 'revolutionizing the computing industry.  Though perhaps if it was less-locked-down or an iPhone-on-Steroids I might feel otherwise.)
