<p><pre><code> ... possibly even more of a transformation than paper-based magazine publishers are attempting as they rejig their content models towards the iPad. Words like "para-narrative," "nontextual," and "extra-narrative" certainly suggest this. </code></pre> I hope it's a little more thought-out and realized than the last hypertext revolution.<p>Rather than try to tell everyone how cool and game-changing this is supposed to be, they should just do what they're going to do and let people find out (or not) for themselves.

Those with iPads... are there other examples of apps with immersive media like this that you've discovered? I'm extremely curious whether the iPad/tablet form factor is going to enable a completely new medium or if it will (like the kindle) just translate an old medium with some bells and whistles?

Man, so many of his tech imaginings are getting implemented.<p>And by so many, I mean two. Still, it's pretty impressive. (The first being the virtual world in Snow Crash, from which Second Life was based.)
