What the iPad is Missing (No, it’s not a Camera) By Fontshop
Never the less, as interaction designer myself I do embrace the use of web applications. Why? Is iBook important? No! It’s not useful at all. Publishers should come out of there cubicles and explore the best way to present digital media: THE WEB!!! We are allready helping you a decade, developping better ways of presentation for digital media. It’s opensource and userfriendly.. Don’t miss the boat!

Fontshop introduces more than 30 of the most common used typefaces as special “Web Safe Fonts”. The front-end technique to work with different typefaces was already developed, but as I know from experience, looked pretty savy. With these new specially for web developed sets of popular fonts – like the DIN, Meta and Dax – we gain a new set of tools to bring the web more alive again!
