Remember we told you how Condé Nast was building its Wired publication into tablet form in anticipation of Apple's upcoming tablet/slate?  Well here's a video of what they've been up to from this year's Wired Store.  Note the interactive graphics at the 30 second mark. 

Again, this is built with Adobe's Air platfrom which might not get a shot at being on Apple's product.  Otherwise, we have to say we like it.

Yeah, a tribute to party-geek-techno music !

However, it's a good job.

Here's what I don't get.

 - This looks great, even awesome at what it does.

BUT it will be damn expensive, and it's trying to compete

with Apple...but WHY? Apple want to make the best E-Book

so why are they trying to. THEY can sell their products on

APPLE's 'Slate/Tablet'. So why are they making their own,

because when both products are on the market, but one

can play music, videos, and has dozens of apps for slightly

more then why even bother making this.

 

SIMPLY make an aggreement with Apple to sell YOUR MAGAZINE

on their tablet, don't make your own.

This is only a concept for an application, it's not a tablet.

Wired supposed to bring their application in the future Apple tablet. And this is the result :)

If the Apple tablet looks like this, I think I will get one at the first day.

I thought this was to demonstrate that how the content could be ready and how it would be displayed on devices like Apple's and others?

As far as I'm aware, they're not making their own

U've got something really wrong. Their not making their own Tablet, their making content for the yet not-released Apple Tablet!

Clearly I'm mistaken. Thought this was a tablet their releasing with other magazine publishers.

If this software works on the Apple Tablet. I'm in.

This is what I don't get. If they should have learned anything from the iphone, it is, that the "analog style" won't sell. They need to write a real app, nut just moving pdf-style documents, that rotate to landscape. 

Please start all over again Condé Nast.

Agreed.  If the company has spent any actual time or manpower on this project then they should be ashamed.  I bet they have a team of people who have been working weeks on this and what do we get ... a literal translation of a magazine onto a computer screen with minimal interactive content.  Where is the innovation here?  If you are trying to save your company by bringing them into the digital age, then you are doing to have to accomplish more than providing what is in essence a scanned version of your mag.

well said, could not agree more. theyre really missing the point if all they're doing is doctoring up some pdfs.

You've got to warn us to mute the video when the noise is like that!
