I candidly can't acquaint you what it's like to see and draft and consume news, magazines and comics on the iPad. You just accept to acquaintance it. But I can acquaint you what to apprehend to draft your mind.
News, News, NewsUnlike the iPhone, there are a ton of means to absorb account appropriate out of the gate—from appealing abundant any account antecedent you want—and they're actually absorbing all around, for a array of reasons.
The New York Times
The NYT Editors Choice app is actually what it says: A baby alternative of the NYT's best online writing from that day, called by the editors and presented in an app that combines the feel of the accustomed NYT Clairvoyant (built on Adobe AIR) and web-based NYT skimmer. There are four sections—latest news, business & technology, opinions, and appearance (which has that day's appropriate section, like Style, for instance)—with 8 to 10 online writing in each, usually arranged with a video and slideshow gallery. You can accompany them to apprehend offline, but there's no actually archival capability. Affectionate of bound but the NYT affairs to "keep adorning and beforehand the application," so apprehend it to get richer over time. For now though, it's chargeless and ad-supported.
To get aggregate else, there's the NYT iPad-optimized website, which has iPad-friendly layout, and abundant of the video agreeable is accessible to be played on the iPad.
The Wall Street Journal
The Wall Street Journal iPad ability in actuality be the best of brand now, at atomic in agreement of carrying the abounding agreeable of the newspaper. But you're gonna pay for it. The chargeless adaptation gives you top stories, bazaar data, and videos and slideshows. For the scoff-inducing amount of $3.99 a anniversary (or chargeless "for a bound time" if you're already a subscriber), you get admission to subscriber alone agreeable like Business, Markets, Opinion and more, and you can accumulate a weeklong annal of every commodity that's in the printed paper. Admitting hardly reminiscient of the WSJ website, of the three aloft newspapers with iPad apps, it states the a lot of archly, "I am a newspaper," which is affectionate of comforting, actually.
NPR
One of the busier account apps, aeronautics is bedeviled by sliding "tapes" for capacity like news, or arts & life. It's one of the apps that has me aflame about the iPad as an advice appliance, aback you can apprehend stories—which you can download for offline reading—while you accept to the broadcasts in an immersive affectionate of way. Plus, you know, it's NPR. It's aswell got an iPad-optimized site.
AP
Perhaps a bit conceptually and visually overwrought, the AP app works real hard to present the account abnormally than anybody else—virtual endless of stories, a pinboard allegory and added airheaded flourishes abound—but it's aswell possibly the a lot of interesting, authoritative use of multimedia, area and added features, demography this accomplished "app" affair appealing far out there for a simple account app.
USA Today
Honestly, I don't accede abundant of USA Today's agreeable account reading—or at atomic none of my first-year journalism advisers did, so I haven't best it up in years—but the app's account blockage out, if alone because it has the atomic to lose in agreement of humans cerebration of it as a bi-weekly so it plays with things, like popover widgets of sports array and weather. USA Today is a bi-weekly as a bright, buzzy app.
Magazines don't yet accept their own appropriate store, or even area of the iBooks or App Store—they're just apps. There aren't as abounding as we'd accept expected, and some of our favorites, like Wired, are missing. But some are actually added absorbing than others.
Time
Time wants $5 an iPad issue, the aforementioned as the newsstand, so it's no accompaniment they attack a adequately bound adaptation of the book mag to alternate iPad app. Aggregate from the book mag makes it into the digital, forth with some added all-embracing stuff, photos and video. It's annihilation that'll draft your arch off with its amazingness, but it feels actually natural, and far bigger than a lot of of the added anemic iPhone/iPad mag apps. Or! If you don't wanna pay $5, they accept an iPad-optimized website.
GQ
Come for the photography, break for the…photography, which it emphasizes aloft all else. Admitting not as absorbing as Time as a abounding package, it actually embraces the iPad as a canvas for assuming admirable accouterment that you can compression and zoom and feel, even if takes some aspects of the adaptation a bit literally. Aeronautics is array of weird—you in fact cross via full-sized images for the articles, and again the commodity drops down from there. Not the a lot of attractive implementation, already the argument is in play. But still solid. Plus side: It's $3 for a accepted iPhone/iPad app. Besides, there's no Esquire app yet.
Sports Illustrated

Digital Americana Magazine

NewsRack

Not a thing you should read, but a how you should read. Save the argument of any webpage for offline account in a blueprint that's altogether advised for the iPad. Aback it pulls out the ads and lets you apprehend it whenever you want, anticipate of it like TiVo for websites, but for alone $5 forever.
Wikipanion
The a lot of alarming way you've anytime browsed Wikipedia. Free, or $5.
Marvel
The flagship banana app, and not just because it's Marvel. Here's what Jason says: Good, but not fantastic. Portrait approach is acceptable for account the absolute page, and you can double-tap to zoom in to a specific panel, which is abundant for landscape. Again bash advanced (or backwards) and it'll beforehand or go aback panels. The aloft blank I see is the abridgement of double-page approach in landscape, so you can see two-page layouts (when something crazy or affecting happens) the way they were meant to be apparent in banana books.

Popular Science
Popular Science's byword "the approaching now" comes accurate for the aboriginal time in a continued time with a annual acquaintance that's actually feels like it's a little allotment of what's coming, even with imperfections—swiping to about-face the page doesn't consistently plan unless you're actually accurate about authoritative a straight, accumbent band with your fingers, and missing appearance you'd apprehend like pinch-to-zoom (to actually dive abysmal on attractive cartoon and photos). And it's still a little too independent of an object, to adored to hotlink to the alfresco world. But you authority it, and you get aflame about what magazines will be like in a year.
