Ultimately unless the aggregators share a slice of revenue they generate I think most media outlets will push for their own solution.

But from a consumer perspective I think most people would rather pick and choose their news sources on a single device. Comment from NYT, travel from the Chronicle, even access to a podcast they love or whatever.

It will be interesting to see what happens.

Interesting – my question is how news orgs will try to subvert the aggregators. Keeping in mind, of course, that I want my aggregator. The goofy MS/NYT reader thingie is a step in the wrong direction – proprietary. Some of this depends on just how inexpensive the materials for our e-papers will be. If the stuff is practically disposable, then you could buy a Times-branded reader one day and a Post-branded reader the next. Not sure I like the sound of that, but it’s a possibility.
