News Desk: Jason Schwartzman Introduces The New Yorker iPad App : The New Yorker ⇢

The app looks quite good.

I wonder when the innovation will start to converge? When will we start to rebel against having a specialized app for every pub, with different metaphors, controls, and bookmarks? Isn’t there a place for the killer iPad magazine application, that publisher will push their pubs into?

Maybe I am dead wrong, here. Perhaps the experience is where the value is, and outsourcing that to some impersonal app may be all wrong.

At the same time, I would certainly like to have everything in my ‘read later’ queue in one queue, not N queues where N = the number of readering applications I have on my iPad, iPhone and Mac.
