Today’s headlines have been dominated by News Corp’s release of The Daily, an iPad-only newspaper. It has been clearly stated that The Daily will only be available for iPads, but if it wants further success I would hope for an iPhone version of the app.
Priced aggressively at either 14 cents/day, 99 cents/week, or $39.99 US/year, The Daily has a dedicated team of writers based out of New York. If the experiement pans out to be successful, we can bet other publications arising from this. Would traditional Canadian media be brave enough to try something like this?
Click here to download The Daily if you own an iPad. Currently, it’s in the US App Store only, but should hit Canada soon. More info here.

The Daily is still not in the Canadian itunes store. Only in US store.
Noticed the same thing on the Daily not being available in Canada. I suspect the CRTC has decided to protect us from evil foreign influence again.
Unfortunately… looks like The Daily isn’t available in the Canadian iTunes store.
Pay for a newspaper? what is this 1980? I get my news for free from the internet (and various iphone aps).
