“We’re completely in agreement with advertisers” on wanting better metrics, said Scott McDonald, senior vice president of market research at Conde Nast. “Our problem is coming to an agreement with Apple.” Mr. McDonald said Conde Nast has made “a lot of progress” in talks with Apple on this issue.

NUMERIQUE. Alors que le Syndicat de la presse quotidienne régionale lancera jeudi 23 septembre son kiosque numérique, permettant de télécharger trente-quatre quotidiens sur l’Ipad (pour 0,79 euros l’exemplaire), la presse quotidienne nationale s’organise pour proposer dès 2011 la vente d’exemplaires à l’acte pour les tablettes et les smartphones, puis des articles délinéarisés et des «packages d’actualité» rassemblant plusieurs éditeurs. Le Figaro, Libération, Les Echos, Le Parisien et L’Equipe ont signé en ce sens un accord de principe en vue d’un protocole d’accord de Groupement d’intérêt économique. Le Monde a demandé un délai avant de se déterminer en raison de son nouvel actionnariat. Baptisé E-Presse Premium et chapeauté par Frédéric Filloux, le GIE pourrait s’élargir aux news magazines et s’interconnecter avec l’offre de PQR.

Les différents syndicats de presse quotidienne régionale, nationale et magazine planchent sur la création de telles plates-formes de distribution numérique.

The launch of Wired’s iPad app in June was heralded as a new dawn for magazine publishers: the app generated 100,000 downloads, exceeding print single copy sales (which reached 77,443 in June, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations), without cannibalizing print.

Ever since the iPad was announced, there has been no end of talk about how it and other tablets represent the future of magazines. As it turns out, this is now partly true. Magazines, in the form of apps, are plentiful on the iPad, and if nothing else, they’re certainly a new way to experience a magazine. The 7″-9″ screen is a good size for viewing mixed content and the touch screen makes scrolling through a magazine feel familiar and obvious, yet still novel.

iPad. Never have so many embraced a great product for exactly the wrong reasons. Too many designers and publishers see the iPad as an opportunity to do all the wrong things—things they once did in Flash—without the taint of Flash.

There have been over 3.8 million downloads of Condé Nast apps on the iPad and iPhone since the publisher began rolling them out. Over the past few months, Condé Nast has been surveying readers of its GQ, Vanity Fair, Wired and Glamour apps and has found that these users are generally not the early-adopters or Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) fanboys the publisher expected.

I just downloaded the Wired iPad application, and like most iPad applications (and most magazines for that matter), I found myself bored with it within the first 20 minutes. I’m sure the content is engaging, I’m sure the articles are worth reading – but I am stumped as to why I would chose this over the physical magazine itself, or their website for that matter. In fact, for reasons I’ll get into below, I’m starting to believe that the physical magazine’s “interface” is vastly superior to it’s iPad cousin.

Every magazine on the iPad also has a website which contains most or all content from each issue. For free. Additionally, the lack of subscription options creates a price disparity for magazine/app buyers. To match the magazine industry’s $4.5 billion annual print revenue, 900 million $4.99 iPad apps would need to be sold. (Or, assuming publishers could make $25 per issue per subscriber in advertising, they’d need to sell 54 magazine apps to every iPad owner, for $4.99 each)
