First news apps for iPad draw mixed reviews
Very few people have actually touched an iPad, much less tested the already thousands of apps dedicated to the new tablet. But, based on screen shots and some limited demos, early reviews of the major media apps are starting to come in. And "magical" they are not.
Mathew Ingram at GigaOm leads off the charge, saying some of the demos, including Wired, looked promising but overall "I have to say that the initial prototypes I'm seeing are, well ... underwhelming." Ingram worries media organizations may be repeating old mistakes. "Part of the problem with mainstream media Web sites has always been that they replicate the same user interface metaphors that appear in the printed versions of their products."
