Rupert Murdoch Launches His iPad-Only Newspaper

The Rupe himself rolls out highly anticipated “The Daily,” the first newspaper built for the iPad, at the Guggenheim in New York

After a few months of delays, Rupert Murdoch finally launched The Daily, News Corp.'s highly anticipated iPad newspaper, at the Guggenheim Museum in slushy New York on Wednesday.

Murdoch called The Daily — which turned up on Apple's App Store at the same time as the press conference — "a national news publication for the iPad that we have created from scratch."

The news service will be available to the more than 10 million consumers who bought the wildly popular Apple tablets last year alone. Millions more are expected to be sold this year, even as rival manufacturers speed their own tablets to market.
