This is the biggest thing wnorikg in its favour. Apple has an established micropayment outlet, and with DRM, news vendors won't have to paywall in order to deliver content to readers.If the device multitasked, so you could chat to your friends while flicking through the paper or even share links within DRM content look at this article for example it would be truly marvellous.As it stands though, we're still one evolutionary step away from it being something honestly social and interactive.Other platforms like HP's device have open software and multitasking, and desktop apps but they don't have the same established micropayment outlet.For that reason, iPads will sell but expect new versions of the hardware in record time. Apple will do its normal thing and recoup R&D costs by releasing a new one every year for the first couple of years, adding features that should have been there from the start.That isn't bad in itself, but it should make people think about how much they need the first one ASAP, especially given no multi-tasking.Cheers for a great post.
