IPads and other tablets have a multitude of uses. Games, notes,
TV watching, and the occasional newsgathering are among the most common.
However, I think it would be useful to engineer a tablet that is for only news.
We can call it iNews for now. Users could download apps of their favorite news
sites and get their information that way. The apps would essentially mirror the
online versions of publications but maybe an extra incentive could be provided
for subscribing via iNews. For example, a free trial or access to more stories
before having to buy the app could draw customers to the product. You may ask why don’t people just download news
apps on their phone instead? Well, smart phones are often times cluttered and
the Newsstand section of the iPhone homepage is often times overlooked. INews
would be for those who religiously follow the news and are willing to carry
around another device. Another plus side is that anyone who has the device
would be completely in the know when it comes to everything from breaking news to
longer feature pieces. It would be the quintessential center for news gathering. All of someone's favorite publications would be at his or her constant disposal.
