Another magazine has come the the Apple iPad. The New Yorker has been an iconic publication for almost 80 years and now a digital version is available for download in the App Store at $4.99 per issue, though the app itself is free. The new online presence for The New Yorker is another effort from publisher Condé Nast to provide its magazine content to tablet users.
From The Wall Street Journal:
“It is important to the New Yorker that we have offerings that allow long-term relationships with the consumers,” said Condé Nast President Bob Sauerberg. “Obviously, we don’t have that in place for the moment with Apple. We are very keen to do that.”
The app gives users an animated cover created by artist David Hockney using the Brushes app for iPad, slideshows, and more content like extra cartoons and a video guide to reading the issue narrated by actor Jason Schwartzman.

Some interesting Apple iPad patent pictures have been found by Patently Apple showing some new features for the popular tablet. Apple recently put a new face on the iPhone 4 with its FaceTime feature, using a front-facing camera for video conferencing. The new iPad patent shows what looks like a front-facing camera which can be presumed to be evidence of video conferencing capabilities coming to the device sometime soon. Rumors of a camera offered on the iPad with the FaceTime feature included have been swirling around for quite awhile.
Another new feature from the patent pictures is a horizontal connection port to be used in landscape viewing, offering a second option for docking and syncing the iPad rather than the usual bottom connection port used in portrait mode.

Starting October 3rd, the second biggest retail chain in the US will begin selling the Apple iPad. The news comes from an Associated Press article covering a press conference by Target.
A leaked photo of the iPad launch date and price points at Target surfaced a few weeks ago which lended credibility to earlier reports that Apple will be expanding sales of its new tablet device.
This begins a new push by Apple to offer the iPad to more consumers, just in time for the upcoming holiday season and to compete with soon-to-be-released tablets from its competitors like HP and Samsung. Best Buy will also now be offering the iPad in all of its stores starting September 26th, as opposed to only its stores with an Apple shop housed within them.
Other rumors tell us Walmart anticipates selling the iPad by the end of 2010.

AppleInsider.com is citing a rumor from a Chinese production plant that Apple has created a new 7-inch iPad, supposedly that is more like the iPhone 4.
From the report:
“Yes there will be a (7-inch) tablet, yes it’s well underway in terms of product development and in fact it’s a finished product,”
“Yes 5 plus different designs have been floating around to help Apple protect itself from people discovering its next product look and feel but… the final design will in fact bear more resemblance to the iPhone 4 stylings than the original iPad design.”
Rumors of the new, smaller “mini” iPad have been floating around for awhile now. The smaller iPad version may be a move by Apple to compete with other ereader type devices such as the Kindle. A lower price than its bigger brother would certainly make it more appealing to consumers.

ABC’s new TV show My Generation debuted tonight and teamed up with Nielsen to provide a live social interactive experiment via a first-of-its-kind app on the iPad which seems to have been a success.
As soon as the program began on the television, one click on the iPad app synced the two together, followed by a confirmation. As the show began to highlight the participants of the faux-documentary, the first poll appeared in the iPad app: “What were you like in high school?” Options ranged from the Rock Star, The Jock, The Wallflower, The Punk and others. Shortly after, the results were shown with “The Nerd” winning out with 22%.
As characters were highlighted, short bios for each one appeared in the app. Other polls followed, one asking opinions on the 2000 US presidential election where a tie breaker was decided by the Supreme Court.
