The skepticism is dead-on. Let's look at how newspapers on Kindle are doing as an example, for starters? Have any newspapers gained the volume of subscribers to make it worthwhile at this point? Or is it more of strategy of reaching audience where they already are.<br><br>The point about mobile here is key. If the news companies can do for tablets what they're currently doing on mobile, the potential and momentum for them to catch on is there. Plus, think about the potential of teaming these tablets up with other apps/services that make the user experience more relevant/immediate. Look at geolocation services like Foursquare and Canada's Metro with mobile. Lots of possibilities. There are a lot of great points here. The skepticism is dead-on.

Having worked for an extremely old-school newspaper, I know there will be organizations that just pop their content on the same way they would a print product. The tablet brings potential for those that are willing to embrace. News orgs that plan to continue with the status quo will continue to suffer revenue and subscription loss.

The difference is that I'm willing to buy music on iTunes because it's somewhat of a pain in the butt, not to mention illegal, to find & download music using BitTorrent etc. But it's not illegal nor difficult to get all the news I want for free online. Ergo, why pay for it on a tablet? Like Craig's point below, it's back to square one with the question of whether consumers should pay for news or not. I couldn't agree with you guys more on the point on people not wanting to pay for news on a tablet when they can get it for free on another device, i.e. computer.
