strong>TAKEAWAY: Our contdown to the Power of the Tablet conference at Poynter (June 14-15) continues with Reed Reibstein providing us links of interest to get us thinking tablets. Today: more about designing and the iPad
Submit Your Links!
On June 13, the day before the “Power of the Tablet” conference, I will post a list of the tablet-related links you, our valued readers, suggest. So send me your favorite articles, blog posts, tweets, e-mails from Steve Jobs , whatever! Tweet them to @rreibstein or leave them in the comments below.
As we approach Poynter’s The Power of the Tablet conference, I turn over the blog to our Garcia Media intern Reed Reibstein, who will also be blogging live from the conference. Reed’s idea is to “warm up” to the conference with daily postings of essential articles that will help everyone understand the tablet as a new journalistic platform.
Countdown to the Conference: 6 days to go
WIRED on iPad: Just Like a Paper Tiger …
Following up on yesterday’s link , Oliver Reichenstein [http://informationarchitects.jp/articles/] responded to the early praise of WIRED’s iPad app with brutal criticism, attacking the app for its multiple columns, type, and non-functional ornament. His remarks have proven divisive, with Jonathan Hoefler and Khoi Vinh taking issue with parts of his argument but many of the comments on Twitter approving of the take-down. Also, don’t miss two more critiques: interfacelab
on how the app is like a CD-ROM and Aegir Hallmundur on the false dichotomy of print vs. screen design.
