Let's face it, we're in a digital age. Newspapers and magazines are seemingly going the way of the wind and are quickly being replaced with the internet. Realizing this, News Corp. took to the stage today in New York to offer up their new news solution: The Daily. Although only launching on the iPad, for now, it was said that they are well aware of the emerging market and it will hit other tablet devices soon. During the Q&A and today's event, The Daily owner Rupert Murdoch, confirmed News Corp has interests beyond the iPad. However, he goes on to state that "this year, and maybe next year, belong to Apple." It's good to know the major news corporation has their mind set on all tablets, and hopefully Honeycomb, being an official tablet OS, will entice them to make the move to the Android platform here soon.
