iPad Magazines

I'm loving my iPad, but so far i've been very disappointed in the publishing industry's first-generation iPad apps-- particularly the magazine industry. So far, i've not seen any iPad magazine experiences that are particularly good. The best executions just seem to mimic the print experiences (GQ). The worst executions are cluttered, convoluted, un-navigatable messes (Time).

And none are doing anything interesting with advertising explorations.

I know these apps will get better as time progresses, but so far i'm unimpressed. The bar is not very high.
