A sad tale of Amazon monetization: eReaderIQ and the affiliate program
Courtesy of the Kboards, a worrying item about struggling e-book sites and their ability to monetize engagement with Amazon - or not - has...
Nice concept piece… looks like someone’s taken some cues from the Bonnier video
from about 2 months back, while still maintaining a paper-like motif. And I noticed they mentioned the ability to “clip and save” articles in favorites folder… the digital scrapbook I described in Chasing the Light!
If more magazines manage this design and delivery concept, I’ll actually have a reason to buy an iPad!
I don’t think that is running on an iPad. I think it is built with Flash running in Adobe Flash Player 10.1 on a tablet device (Could be Android, but I’d bet Windows 7)
It would be really funny if Adobe indeed would be amongst the first to enable publishers to publish for the iPad.
@Micah Jeremy Clark (who features in the clip) works for Adobe and starts by explaining that they used Adobe AIR to build this (about 1 minute into the clip). But the original Wired story (see link in article above) mentions/suggests that they used the Packager for iPhone tool that will allow Flash apps (including AIR) to run on Apple mobile platforms.
But using AIR also allows them to provide the app for Windows, Linux and Mac.
That’s not an iPad. They mention Adobe Air as the running engine, and the iPad doesn’t support that.
Apple won’t allow Flash on their devices. However, the good guys at Adobe created something I have been longing for forever…
Flash CS5 has a “convert to IPA” function that will take all AS3 apps and convert them to iPhone / iPad / iPod apps.
Air does run on an iPhone / iPod. Just not out of factory.
