Print Media Hail Apple IPad's Potential

(CNN) — Now that they’ve gotten a peek at it, publishers of books, newspapers and magazines are hoping Apple’s forthcoming iPad tablet device will breathe new life into their struggling industry.
A handful of publishers already have struck content deals with Apple for the handheld wireless device, which displays text, photos and graphics in high-res color. Apple will launch an online bookstore to sell titles for the iPad, much like iTunes sells music for iPods and other Apple devices.
