iPad preview has Marvel app, but what does it do?
This picture by Stephen Fry, who got his hands on an iPad before the rest of us (he does that sort of thing; he got the second ever Macintosh in England, Douglas Adams got the first) shows an icon for a Marvel application, which may or may not come standard with every iPad install.
If so, it means the long-surmised Marvel-Disney-Apple synergy is about to bear fruit in a BIG way.
No word on whether this will be instead of or in addition to any display space Marvel may get in the iBookstore.
Very interesting indeed. I think if Marvel is doing this they will hopefully be smart about it and not over price the books digitally. They have the potential to reach millions of new customers that wouldn't dream of stepping in a comic shop.I wrote some tips for Marvel here on how they could succeed with the iPad, in the app store.http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-42104-Newark-W…~y2010m4d1-iPad-Secret-Revealed-For-Comics-Courtesy-of-Stephen-Fry
