Well done, Mattie.
I'm looking forward to seeing the app. Maybe other news outlets will jump on the bandwagon after they see how iPad users respond to The Daily. We shall see.

I'm getting seriously tired of the "this is the day it all changes" taglines.. Come on.. it's an app.. a freaking app of a freaking newspaper...!
if things don't get more real in the next years, the western civilization is fated to fail as a system.

You do of course realise that in this case it was a joke from a blog about the...well, let's say, doubtful importance/success of this.
I disagree. The iPad and Android tablets are media consumption devices. You pay hundreds of dollars to basically consume music, movies, the web, books, and so on. To make the "investment" worthwhile (your hardware purchase), you have to buy content (a.k.a. "Apps"). Apple has been masterful at resetting consumer expectations to pay for digital content (first with iTunes, and now with Apps). This new consumer behavior-- paying for digital content-- doesn't mean the web won't be free. It means that the money we used to spend on things like movies, music, TVs, books, magazines, newspapers, is getting shifted onto tablets. The big question is what percentage of that spending is going on to tablets, not whether it is happening.
This trend is platform agnostic-- whether iOS or Android, people are showing a willingness to pay for digital content in the tablet environment, distinct from the web environment where free is the norm.
It is a fascinating transition, and one that will, ironically, create problems for free web media entities, such as Gawker and Huffington Post, that, like newspapers facing the web in 1995, will be equally confused/hamstrung in how to monetize the paid media aspect of tablets.
Super interesting...
Oy
This filth will not be anywhere near my iPhone or iPad, any more than Faux News is allowed to darken my TV sets. Apple should disallow anything from these monstrous people.

So in the future, we'll all run android and no one will pay for content. So where will this content come from? Will journalists, commentators, editors, designers and web developers all work for free in this android world? I've seen the android world, every page filled with distracting, ugly, bandwidth hogging adverts. But then if android users don't pay for anything, why would anyone bother advertising to them?
The complete lack of respect for the creation of content is shocking, one pays for the content, not the delivery method. Good content needs creating by skilled, trained, experienced creators. Not amateurs.
If the android future is one with content and commentary from amateurs, with no mediation or editorial control, it sounds like a nightmare to me.

Why are you picking my post to piggy-back your rant on?
Besides, I'm a conservative and even *I* know that News Corp. is mostly crap. But I will sign up for it because it's not as crappy as the other crap offerings out there.
So you're asking for political censorship from apple? Do you think that's a good precedent to set?! My local newsagent sells newspapers that I wouldn't buy, and sometimes sells products that I don't like. Maybe all shops should only sell what I like, and all other products removed at the discretion of the shop keeper.
There are some very scary people on this site today.
It's called free will ladies and gentlemen, if you don't want to read something, then don't read it. You do not have the right to dictate what others may or may not read.
How do you come to that conclusion? They are both shrewd businessmen that have a knack for providing what consumers want. That does not make them personal friends.
right! a nightmare!
Android will be mainstream in the future, not Steve with his ipad bla bla and so on!
And Android ist doing the some serious damage already, because a lot of companies are using it, but no users are developing it. What is th emajor objectiv from "open source".

Faux News should be shut down until they stop selling lies and propaganda as news. That has nothing to do with their political viewpoint being repugnant (which it is), it has to do with their making a mockery of free speech - one of the most important aspects of our free society.
And I couldn't care less if Steve Jobs and Rapert Murder were gay lovers.

Ummm, I'm pretty sure Apple already does this. It's called the Apple App Store and in their app approval guidelines, they will not accept overly politically-charged or inflammatory apps. Like it or not, this is a form of censoring political views.
Geez, a hater of Fox News and the ability for an entity to voice their political opinion who is prejudicial and just offended the gay people on this forum. Doesn't surprise me one bit.
They both want one thing that each other can give each other.... money. Money binds the friendship. Steve Jobs doesn't care about "the cause" like all of you "Faux News" bashers think, he wants $ and power.
Perhaps, considering the Wall Street Journal and The Daily are owned by the same company.
Or perhaps News Corp will decide to keep the Wall Street Journal as a premium service, and make The Daily its newspaper for those who don't wish to spend as much.
What language is that? It's completely indecipherable. Did Glenn Beck invent it?
News Corp is releasing an iPad app and CNN already has one, so I wonder how long until MSNBC releases their trash aswell.
Silly me
Well one can always change to the (C)ommunist (N)ews (N)etwork!
