Unfortunately, only about publishing textbooks to the iPad instead of actually inventing a new type of physical printing press ;)

I reckon this is about as close as we have to a new type of press: http://h10088.www1.hp.com/cda/gap/display/main/index.jsp?zn=...

It's one of the presses that print-on-demand operations use (this one's made by HP, but I believe Xerox make them too). The video is nifty :)

The presentation today Tools of Change conference also announced that Inkling will soon be available in HTML5 browsers. So, Habitat will cover an even larger spectrum in the near future... not just the iPad.

Edit: here's a link to the only official word I can find, other than the presentation given today... https://twitter.com/inkling/status/169441976633147392

The OP, written by Inkling's CEO, also says: "I also previewed Inkling for Web, which will make all of Inkling’s great interactive content available in any web browser."
