PJ Gurumohan, CEO of tablet publishing startup Genwi, likes to talk about creating unique experiences tablet, rather than just porting over an existing website. A good example of what he has in mind: Tweek, a new app that Genwi (pronounced “Gen Y”) has created with Times Internet Limited.
TIL is the Internet and mobile arm of Times Group, which publishes the Times of India. It already offers iPad apps for the Times of India and other publications, but with Tweek, TIL CEO Rishi Khiani says the company is trying to do something different — use “smart, interactive packaging” to reach a young, urban audience.

If you work in the tech industry, it’s not uncommon to attend a conference almost every week, or at least every other week. Despite the promulgation at these conferences of next-age technology – including small little devices that hold entire libraries worth of data – I’ve noticed one glaring and particularly galling problem: There is just way too much paper. In an industry with buzzwords like “disruptive,” “game-changing,” “the cloud,” “virtualization” and “paradigm-shifting,” it’s amazing to think that we still hold onto this antiquated medium of paper as if we were a giant used bookstore.

Conde Nast has been full-steam-ahead on the tablet front ever since Apple launched its first iPad last year. But the Adobe-based system it uses for producing tablet editions of its magazines is far from perfect. For consumers, it results in a product that’s less dynamic and interactive than other tablet publications while still being an annoyingly large, slow download. For editors and designers, the process is surprisingly work-intensive considering that most of what they’re doing is simply translating layouts created for the print version. View the Story
