London newspaper City A.M. coming to the iPad

If you aren't a Londoner, this news probably won't excite you that much. However, if you make the daily commute on the tube like the five million rest of us (well, 4,999,999. I work from home), a regular part of your morning is browsing though the City A.M. newspaper -- a staple of daily London business news.

I've been reading the paper daily for the last three years, and I get irked when I walk to a tube stop and find the City A.M. bin empty. Well, no more! A little birdy told me that City A.M. is hard at work on a full-blown iPad edition.

"We're working on a series of apps, including for the iPad...should be ready in the next few months. The iPad will include a digital reader with an exact replica of the print product, as well as html news updates."

It's unclear at the moment if the City A.M. iPad app will be free like the print edition or a paid app. Either way, now fellow Londoners will never have to be worried about missing an issue -- or using the print edition as an umbrella on those rainy mornings.

Michael, does this mean you'll be using your iPad an umbrealla from now on? ;-)

Does this mean I'll stop being hassled by those distributers thrusting copies of the paper into my face each morning?

Outside Liverpool Street there's three of them in a row. Getting past them without being force-fed a newspaper is like running a gauntlet.

it might be worth noting that CityAM isn't a paper that it's universal to the whole of London, it's a paper that's usually distributed to people who work in the financial district of London so focussed around a few tube stops/stations only

The rest of us London types get stuck with The Metro or The Evening Standard instead ;)
