The iPad Is Step 1 In The Future Of Computing. This Is Step 2 (Or 3).
This story from TechCrunch makes me all kind of tingly inside. I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that the desktop as a metaphor has outlived its useful purpose. We should be looking to unshackle ourselves from it and move on to something new.

This conceptual video is a corporate collaborative research project initiated by Bonnier R&D into the experience of reading magazines on handheld digital devices. It illustrates one possible vision for digital magazines in the near future, presented by our design partners at BERG.
The concept aims to capture the essence of magazine reading, which people have been enjoying for decades: an engaging and unique reading experience in which high-quality writing and stunning imagery build up immersive stories.
The concept uses the power of digital media to create a rich and meaningful experience, while maintaining the relaxed and curated features of printed magazines. It has been designed for a world in which interactivity, abundant information and unlimited options could be perceived as intrusive and overwhelming.
