From the Pursuitist:
Speaking at the South by Southwest Conference, Rick Levine, Condé Nast’s director of editorial operations, stated that all of the Condé Nast titles, from, Vogue, Arch Digest, to Vanity Fair, will have a tablet version by the end of 2011. “We like this technology so much that by the end of the year every magazine will have a digital edition,” he said. However, he was very skeptical of the control of Steve Jobs and Apple, adding, “we frankly don’t want Apple to have a stranglehold on this business.”
This article misses the point. There already ARE digital newsstands. Nobody has to create one with Apple. Just use Zinio (available on every platform) or something like them instead. I don’t want to download a million apps, and I don’t want yet another proprietary system. Don’t re-invent the wheel.
