The Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) announced today that its board of directors ruled to modify its definition of a digital magazine in the U.S. and Canada to accommodate new devices such as the
Apple iPad.
At a meeting held March 10-12 in Washington, DC, the board agreed on new standards that state a replica digital edition must include a print edition's full editorial content and advertising, but no longer needs to be presented in a layout identical to the print version.

Google could be developing its own rival to the
Apple iPad, after an engineer at the search company posted a video online showing a mock-up of the Chrome operating system running on a tablet computer.
A video – which appeared on the Chromium website, home of the open source project being Google's Chrome web browser and operating system – shows a mock-up of a possible tablet user interface. It shows how both sides of a single, large screen could be used simultaneously to carry out computing tasks, such as writing emails and searching the web.
Although Chromium is not an official Google website, the concept video has been put together by Glen Murphy, one of Google's Chrome OS designers. Google is also reportedly in discussions with Taiwanese consumer electronics giant HTC about making a touch-screen tablet computer.

Apple will launch an online bookstore to sell titles for the iPad, much like iTunes sells music for iPods and other
Apple devices.
"I think it's a game-changer for us ... because of the ability to consume content and consume so much of it all in one place," Sarah Chubb, president of Condé Nast Digital, told CNN. She thinks the iPad could join Amazon's popular Kindle e-reader in boosting demand for digital media.
