Apple likely to release templates for iPad magazines

Apple will launch templates for iPad magazines, according to rumours from Gadget Daily News. The move would make the creation of iPad magazines much easier and open to people without professional coding or designing skills.

It could also result in more consistency between the various magazines available for the device, as currently these are developed from scratch by each individual publisher.

The move would be similar to the introduction of templates for blogging platforms – opening it up to amateurs who want to have a go, and creating a healthier ecosystem for content on iPad’s magazine section.
