Out freaking standing! I would love more quality FoxNews on my iPhone and iPad. Their iPhone app is already excellent by the way.
This is great news. At least one of the news companies understands what the future is.
The Wall Street Journal app is amazing by the way.

Sounds like the same old song and dance to me -- News Corp. trying to figure out how to make money. Don't blame them.
I have no problem paying for news content, but it insults my very limited intelligence when Murdoch charges 50% MORE for the WSJ in electronic format than he does for the print edition.
A fair and sane price for WSJ electronic edition should be less than the print cost. The printed edition professional subscription cost is less than $10 a month. Therefore the electronic edition, which lacks all the associate production expenses should probably be half that. But he charges $15 a month. INSANITY. At least 3 times what it is worth!
I want news outlets to figure this out so they can survive, but don't treat us like we are idiots.
Senility could be the culprit here.
And I do feel the same way. That's why I actually canceled my online WSJ subscription. I felt his approach to iPad content was simply an insult.
It's funny how so many people equate Jobs to some left-field deep thinker when really he just wants your dimes and will happily team up with the most reactionary moguls in the world if need be. Yet another niche market for Apple to exploit. Thankfully it is still very much a niche. It would be a truly horrible world if it fitted into his worldview.
What a load of crap.
