iPads worked for the Guardian for 8 years. now will it draw new subscribers on phones

I found it very interesting and it is cool to see how the whole world has changed. What once looked like it could never happen is now how most people consume information. It is very cool to see the development and growth before the IPad. Fidler was ahead of his time and started to begin the transformation of the new form of how printing and information are given and received. He started the tablet newspaper 5 years before the IPad was even made. It is weird to even think of a world where technology like that isn't automatically at your fingertips. I know people went on with a lot less for a very long time but in a generation that we live in it is weird to think of Fidler creating something before it really was acceptable. I find it very interesting to see how some newspapers and other companies did not use the eMprint format. You would think if it was successful that you would see a lot of companies trying to use the things that were given. Tablet media for the future involves so many more things. I see this being the main source of news consumption for the future. I don't see a reason why things would go back to how they were. Now with smartphones even being a main source of acquiring news, there is a chance that tablets could be pushed to the back burner. I don't see that happening anytime soon. I know the older aged community prefers larger screens and tablets when consuming information because of the loss of eye-sight.
