    If these things are ever going to become popular, price will have to drop quite a bit…I’d rather have physical copy any day, and if I buy digital it better be cheap or I’d rather just download it free.

    So… you can now subscribe to magazines by using:

    1. the Kindle app
    2. iOS NewsStand
    3. the magazine’s app

    Isn’t that a little confusing?

    But hey…. as long as magazines stay in business… I’m fine with it.

      The irony here is that this is an example of Apple allowing users to have a CHOICE of how they consume content, something that phanDROIDs claim never happens with Apple.

    I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, MetaCent. com
