Tip 2: How to get Apple iPad for Free

Joe Zeff, the former presentation editor of New York Times and graphics director of Time, is suggesting publishers bundle magazine and newspaper subscriptions, with a free Apple iPad.

Imagine it: Get all of Condé Nast and every New York newspaper in your pocket for five years. For the low, low price of $10,000, we'll also throw in a free Apple iPad!

He explains on the Joe Zeff Design blog:

Love it or hate it, the iPad remains the publishing industry’s best chance at resurrection, but only if enough consumers buy in. The price tag is the biggest obstacle — $499 for an iPlane Jane model or $629 plus monthly service for 3G-powered Pad. But what if the publishing industry helped to defray that cost, bundling an iPad with a multi-year subscription to hundreds of newspapers and magazines? It’s a short-term investment that could pay off handsomely, and one of many options that should be considered in order to lure a new generation of readers to a new world of possibilities.

So just bag an Apple iPad for yourself.
