A vision for digital magazines of the near future

In my experience, current forms of digital magazines either (a) slavishly ape print conventions or (b) overwhelm the reader with gizmos, animation, too many links, and disjointed fragments of digital stuff.

Mag+ is an elegant model for future digital magazines that seems to overcome the weaknesses of both approaches.  It's logical, simple, but also interactive.  It also looks like a perfect fit for the rumored Apple "Tablet" (now supposedly due in March 2010).  Here's an interesting video illustrating the Mag+ concept:

Ideally, the design, formatting, and user interface could be adapted to existing blogging/content management systems like Wordpress or Drupal.  Then we'd be in business!
