I do hope this leads to something more akin to "digital pages" that receive wireless updates during the day, with text, photo and video that changes by the hour. Every new development has to start somewhere... Definitely not anything to get excited about.

It's no more valuable than scratch and sniff. I’ll quote Derek Powazek: “I can’t imagine how much time and money it cost just for a physical magazine to implement the blink tag.”

Sure it's ugly, underwhelming, and a bit annoying - but most initial attempts at technological innovation are.
