Magazines On An iPhone?

Ran across this article about the market for finite use apps i.e. “content for fee” on the iPhone and started thinking about what reading one of my faves would be like on such a small screen.

Time will tell whether there will be a market for buying content such as a traditional monthly magazine (finite content) as an app on your iPhone.  It is telling that people are willing to exchange the experience of flipping through the pages of a 9″x12″ glossy printed publication for a version that my old eyes could not even read.

On the other hand, I can see the day in the near future when I will be carrying around a 12″ tablet that is (almost) as thin and light as a magazine and runs for a whole day of traveling on a single charge.
