News Corp's iPad Newspaper "The Daily" Now In UK App Store





Well, tap a phone. News Corporation's iPad newspaper - The Daily - has quietly appeared for sale in the UK Apple App Store.

You can get a two-week free trial and after that it will cost 69p a week or £27.99 a year.

But don't get too excited UK news lovers. It's not a UK-specific edition, despite News Corp saying it was planning just that. It's the US-centric version.

The Daily was launched in a fanfare of publicity in the US in February and all News Corp has done is make it available in the UK app store jam packed with US news. I suppose that means it can safely ignore full coverage of the News of the World phone tapping scandal.

News Corp boss, Rupert Murdoch, has said The Daily has cost $40-million to set up and its weekly running costs are $500,000.
