This is the article i got my information from (it is from The New York Times):
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/26/technology/26apple.html
The new "Tablet" by Apple is being called "a time machine" by New York Times Magazine. It is the newest and most wanted technology right now by people everywhere. It allows a person using it to "undo mistakes of the past" (NYTimes). The Apple Tablet lets people read news and books and also allows a person to basically have the ipod, itouch, and computer all in one.
The tablet is going to help many companies with advertising because it will charge people to read magazines, books, and get channels on the Tablet. The NY Times for example said that they are going to do there own version of the newspaper for the Tablet so that people can download there newspaper and subscribe to it. It is not only going to be a goldmine but it is a new way for technology rather than just buying these books and magazines. It is taking technology to a whole new level.
I think this is going to be huge for advertising industries, magazines, and newspaper because for so long people stopped subscribing to these things because they have a computer, but they also had an ipod, and an i touch, and other sources of technology. Instead of carrying around 3 different things, now people can have a "Tablet" which they can listen to music, browse the Internet, read the paper, catch up on there latest gossip, and do anything else they wanted. I definitely think people WILL spend money on this because people like "easy technology" now a days.
In the book it talks about how new media is what gets peoples attention in pages 67-69 it talks about television and promotions and advertising. Imagine if all of this could be on one device like the Tablet...
Here is a video i found about the Tablet.
