One of the things that makes Fotoblur such an amazing place is its commitment to artistry. We're damn lucky to have such talented photographers who have come to participate in both our community and magazine.<p>In the past I have done some inquiry into the magazine industry and find its way of doing business horribly wrong. Fotoblur's intent has always been to create a magazine that focuses on art, instead of advertising and reviews of cameras. I refuse to go that route in developing Fotoblur Magazine any further.<p>However, you could say that Fotoblur, in its own right, has done things differently. We've used the Print on Demand services from our friends at MagCloud. This has allowed us the freedom to make our own rules as it pertains to designing our own publication.<p>Never-the-less, with the increasing popularity of tablet devices, especially with the retinal display now offered in the iPad 3, its time that Fotoblur start looking into this arena to make an impact.<p>It is my belief that some portions of the web work better when offered as a magazine simulation. Its is more intuitive to view images or news stories as if they where in a book. Combining real-time web into these experiences will dramatically change the landscape of how humans consume information.<p>Fotoblur is on a quest to participate in this evolving landscape and wishes to do so by promoting the work of Fotoblur's contributors through software that is made to be enjoyed on a tablet device.<p>Fotoblur Labs is a prototype of what I've been working on. Its concept goes back even further. Its a web application that is best enjoyed on a webkit enabled browser (Safari or Chrome). It will also work on Firefox. The best experience thus far has been on an iPad (2 or 3). iPad1 gave poor performance. It will not work in any Internet Explorer browser.<p>Again, this is a prototype. The question is, do you like it? Please be honest in your assessment.<p>Lastly, there are a few warnings that come with this adventure. The software may have bugs, may be down for maintenance, or may be broken as its worked on.
