A collaboration between The Wonderfactory and Time, Inc. has been made public on YouTube this week. The video demos how tablets can help magazines get interactive and dynamic, in ways only known from the online world. It features beautifully integrated video and image content, intelligent advertisement and games.

But what – apart from the obvious iPhone gestures – makes tablets so different from using your laptop? Shouldn’t the publishing media be thinking about placing themselves more appropiately into the new media?
What are your thoughts on the matter?
