Wally Koval takes a look at the introduction of the iPad and its impact on the publishing industry. Is it just an iPhone on steroids? Or something far more valuable?

Some have criticized the iPad as just an "iPhone on steroids", others have praised it as the "Kindle Killer" a new wave of interactive e-readers. Whichever side you choose, the iPad has brought a rush of development from not only game and entertainment developers but from all facets of publishers From B2B Industry veterans to former Apple Executives, many view the iPad as a catalyst to propel revenue growth for the B2B industry. B2B publishers like The Financial Times, Thompson Reuters, and smaller trades such as Creamer's Mining Weekly have already crossed over successfully into the mobile application space and are enjoying reader engagement specifics way above those for a typical b2b website when it comes to average session lengths and number of sessions per user. Now those publications are in post production development phases to shift their successful apps to the iPad. While e-readers have been around since 2004, they really gained momentum with the release of the Kindle in 2007.

Next up Mike Chen, a ViewSonic product manager for its digital media business unit, introduces the special editor VEB632 JinYong Reader e-reader that is at the top-end of ViewSonic's new eBook range. It will go on sale in Taiwan in July with a rather rich street price of 14800 NTD or around 462 USD at today's rate. Yin Yong is a very famous Chinese martial arts novelist who has written some 36 books on the ancient Eastern fighting art that are enjoyed by Chinese all around the world. The VEB632 e-reader comes bundled with all of Jin Yong's books included on the 2GB of internal storage.

www.tweaktown.com Today we attended a ViewSonic press conference in Taipei where the company used the event to launch a range of new eBook e-readers appropriately held at the eslite bookstore. First up Mike Chen, a ViewSonic product manager for its digital media business unit, introduces the cheapest of its new e-readers, the VEB620 eBook. But when we say cheap though, don't let they confuse it. It comes packed with features and the only thing it really misses out on is wireless connectivity, so you will either need to use a microSD card or copy books etc over via USB from your computer. The unit will go on sale in Taiwan in a week or so with a street price of 4900 NTD - which works out to be around 153 USD at today's exchange rate. The device comes with a six-inch screen with 16 levels of grey that is capable of an 800 x 600 resolution. It weighs in at a rather light and comfortable eight ounces or around 227 grams. It was really nice to hold and is made using soft plastics that feel good. Distributed by Tubemogul.

One of my resolutions for 2010 is to read more. I used to read a lot but have gotten away from it recently.
