Packer Newspapers

You can call him a professional line sitter and a man on the street, but you cannot deny that Greg Packer has did it again by turning up first outside the Manhattan Apple Store for an iPad.

Although we’re still some 36 hours away from the official iPad launch on Saturday, the line is forming slowly outside Apple’s famed Fifth Avenue retail store in New York City.

True, the line doesn’t stretch around the block like the original iPhone launch in the summer of 2007, but there’s an interesting similarity between now and then – Greg Packer.

In case you missed it, Packer stood the first in the line at the iPhone launch. It’s not a coincidence, though. Packer, 47, pitched himself as a “man on the street” and the media took the bait.

According to Wikipedia, Packer has been quoted in more than 100 articles and television broadcasts by such media outlets as the New York Post, Associated Press, Newsday, and more.

New York Times prominent among media iPad apps

Friday, April 2nd, 2010 | Uncategorized

The New York Times iPad app, featuring news, opinion, and feature articles, was early out the gate, but others have joined the race.

Post a comment Share Credit New York Times As their print editions lose readers
and business many newspaper and magazine publishers are hoping the iPad will
prove fertile ground for new customers iPad owners who need their daily New York
Times fix can grab it courtesy of the paper’s new iPad app or even just the site
itself which made Apple’s list of iPad-ready sites that have been optimized for
compatibility with the iPad’s features The Times iPad features got a prominent
preview during Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiling of the tablet device in January
The free New York Times Editor Choice app will download to the iPad a daily
selection of the newspaper’s top business and technology stories opinions and
features picked by Times editors Readers will find 8 to 10 articles all captured
from the paper’s regular news pages and columns Using the tablet’s touch screen
iPad owners can tap to view the videos and slideshows that will join many of the
Times stories Articles and images can also be downloaded and synced to the iPad
so readers can view them without a Wi-Fi or 3G connection The new app is free
and supported by advertisers but the Times said it’s planning a paid app that
would offer more content The Times is joined by a growing list of other
publishers eager to tap into the new iPad market Credit Wall Street Journal USA
Today is launching its own iPad app Saturday with a hook to lure readers The app
will be free until July 4 and then available through a fee-based subscription In
addition to providing the latest news stories the USA Today app will offer
photos and graphics to take advantage of the iPad’s high-resolution screen The
Wall Street Journal is unveiling a free iPad app on Saturday with selected news
stories videos and slideshows for non-subscribers but a richer array of content
for people willing to pay $3_99 a week to subscribe Current subscribers of the
Journal’s print edition can get full access free for a limited time Magazine
publishers are also hopping onto the iPad with new apps on Saturday Popular
Science is launching a $4_99 app GQ will hit the tablet with its own $2_99 app
and National Geographic will debut its $4_99 Beautiful Planet HD app featuring
photos from around the world Though newspapers and magazines are offering full
content for free most are adopting a strategy similar to that of the Times and
the Journal–dangle a limited number of stories for free but then charge for a
fuller plate of content iPad users for example will be able to download for free
12 pages of content from the April issue of Men’s Health magazine as a preview
The Men’s Health app for the iPad Click for a larger image Credit Men’s Health
The full April issue will then be available for download in the iTunes store for
$4_99 and will be followed by the May issue available by April 20 The Men’s
Health iPad app will also offer interactive features including real-time polls
and increased social-networking capabilities with Twitter and Facebook and will
incorporate full-screen high-definition video footage from behind the scenes of
Men’s Health cover shoots However the strategy of offering a bit of content for
free before charging for it may not do much to stem the tide of shrinking sales
