I got a mail today, informing me about the launch of The Daily, an iPad application, or rather- 'the first digital daily news publication' for the iPad. Now, it is from Murdoch's News Corporation, some of us may cavil at that. But publishers have to make money, or else we won't have quality content for our reading, right?
I think this is the way to go- more publishers are likely to follow suit. It costs about eleven cents a day to get The Daily on the iPad. The price is okay, you can share the web format of the Daily on facebook etc., through clicking a share button, so that is a good thing.
But then, it is exclusively for iPad I think, that does not sound good. But then, if The Daily succeeds, other newspapers will follow it, and I hope that one day, someone will come out with simple application that lets you read stuff like you read it on Instapaper in an ordinary GPRS enabled mobile.
I hate to see a quality newspaper like New York Times suffering losses year after year- mobile is the way to go. Hope they succeed with this. I am sure they will, for I read about two three days back,

Wireless traffic is already bigger than the internet was in 2000. Yes kids, mobile WILL be bigger than the fixed internet.
Mobile is exploding EVERYWHERE. Here in the West with smartphones and faster mobile broadband speeds, but also in the developing world where people are leapfrogging the fixed internet and going straight to mobile.- Business Insider SAI
