"Daily" iPad newspaper to launch January 17

Rupert Murdoch's iPad-exclusive publication, The Daily, is rumored to arrive on January 17. All Things Digital's Peter Kafka quotes "multiple sources," saying "News Corp plans to launch the publication by the week of January 17."

The Daily is the much-rumored, iPad-only publication from News Corp. Murdoch has supposedly worked closely with Apple and Steve Jobs himself during the app's development. It was rumored that the app would be revealed at a December press event that was to feature Jobs, Murdoch and an overview of the alleged "newsstand" feature that many believe will introduce in-app subscriptions to the App Store.

Kafka notes that The Daily will supposedly sell for US$0.99 per week, and that the extensive staff Murdoch has assembled will produce lots of video and other gee-whiz tech goodies for Daily readers to enjoy.

That rumor of a December release turned out to be a dud, so don't get yourself all excited just yet. We'll know soon enough.

Steve Jobs sharing the stage with satan himself? I'll have to see it to believe it. I would be very disappointed if Steve indeed "worked closely" with this man, who is the biggest threat to destroy our way of life since Hitler. It's one thing to have an app for sale, but it's another to outwardly endorse it. The negative entropy that could result from such an appearance would alienate Apple's core liberal base, and could really hurt Apple's bottom line.
