The arrival of these tablets which should be small enough to slip into a pocket while travelling, yet big enough to read easily, mean a revival for the dying art of reading a newspaper (in some form) on the train or tube?
The revival of the news industry will only happen if these tablets are priced at an affordable amount in which people will go out and buy the tablets and then hopefully download news apps which they can then read on the go.
The reason I found this article interesting is because I am a fan of technology and how it is advancing with every new release and how it can help with day to day problem or certain industries have a revival.

It's great that you have an interest in new media technology - this will stand you in really good stead when we move on to considering issues of institution and audience (particularly distribution).
