The San Jose Mercury News reports that Apple is preparing to roll out support for newspaper subscriptions on the iPad, opening the door for new revenue streams for publishers. The information apparently comes via Roger Fidler, head of digital publishing at the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, who works closely with many newspapers and has received the information from industry sources.
Apple is expected to announce soon a new subscription plan for newspapers, which hope tablets like the iPad will eventually provide a new source of profits as media companies struggle with declining print circulation and advertising revenue.
Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
According to the report, Apple may be looking to take a 30% cut of subscription revenue and up to 40% of advertising revenue from the digital newspaper content. Apple and major newspaper publishers have also reportedly agreed on an "opt-in" option for subscribers that would allow user information to be passed along to the publishers for generating advertising commitments. Those two items of contention have been seen as the primary barriers to bringing newspaper and magazine subscriptions to the iPad.
Apple continues to grow its output of iPads to satisfy consumer demand ahead of the coming holiday season, this time adding a new supplier of touch panel sensors for nearly a million additional parts per month.
According to DigiTimes, Taiwan-based Cando, a subsidiary of AU Optronics, will begin shipping 9.7-inch touch sensors for the iPad in September or October. The sensors will be crafted at the company’s newly revamped production line.
"Overall output of the newly reformed 4.5G plant will be mainly for iPad touch sensors with a monthly capacity of almost one million units," the report said.
The new plant is said to have a capacity of 70,000 glass substrates per month. Each of those substrates can cut 16 units of touch sensors for the iPad and its 9.7-inch display.
Before the iPad launched, numerous reports indicated that various production issues led to limited availability. Touch panels, in particular, proved to be a problem, as Apple reportedly switched orders for the parts to Wintek just before the iPad U.S. debut in early April.
LogMeIn is an incredibly useful tool that allows you to access your computer remotely. With LogMeIn Ignition for the iPad, accessing your computer and data remotely is a breeze. I’ve been playing around with the app for a few days, so let’s get straight into the review!
Setting up LogMeIn Ignition is simple and easy. You need the application on your iPad (obviously), and you need the LogMeIn application installed on your computer. There’s two versions: LogMeIn Pro2 or LogMeIn Free (Mac or PC). After you download the app on your computer, you set up a LogMeIn account, and you’re done on the computer side. After that, you just log in with your account details in the Ignition app, and you’re set and ready to go!
Once you get everything set up and ready to go, you’re presented with your desktop…and a few options buttons: Show/Hide Keyboard, Cmd-Tab/Cmd-` command, mouse default left/right options, Zoom In/Out, Settings, and End Session.
As a followup to their iPad is Delicious and What is iPad commercials, Apple introduced a new iPad commercial last night.
The ad features the iPad in a variety of scenes, each captioned with text including “medical, live, musical, work, play, memories, social, magazines, and historic”

The Apple iPad truly is a magical device, and definitely entertaining if you want to surf the web, play games, read books, or watch movies and TV shows. But sometimes you need to get some work done and you probably have a task list or a "honey do" list that you need to track. Wouldn’t it be nice if your iPad could also keep you organized and on task so that you can get your work done quickly and get back to the fun stuff? With the right task management app, it can do exactly that.
Agendus ($9.99)
Agendus is the first of two "all in one" iPad apps that manage both your calendar and your tasks. Agendus goes one step further and also integrates your contacts. The Today view is clean and uncluttered, reminiscent of a paper calendar, and I like having the weather forecast, quote of the day, and "this day in history" included. The calendar view includes events and tasks on the right side, and the contacts portion of the app is fully searchable. Tasks are rather simple at this point; you can link them to contacts and create repeating tasks, but you can’t have projects or subtasks at this point.
