Jobs and Murdoch to create an iPad-Only Daily Newspaper

One of the largest rumors the past few days has been that News Corp Rupert Murdoch is going to be working with Steve Jobs of Apple, to create a digital-only newspaper.  The project called " The Daily " will provide news seven days a week on a wide variety of topics, for the low price of $0.99 a week.

Close to 100 employees at the New York City Headquarters of News Corp will be working on " The Daily "  It will most likely cover main things such as elections but also breaking news just like any other newspaper.  At first  " The Daily " will be iPad-Only during the Beta Release, which will most likely come late December.  When the actual version is released sometime in early 2011 the app will be on the iPad and other Tablet PC's.

Many sources say that Steve Jobs and Murdoch have been discussing and working on this project for a while now.  This came as no surprise since there have been many rumors lately about Apple trying to get a newspaper subscription plan, where Apple would receive part of the subscription.  Well none the less, expect to see Jobs and Murdoch releasing " The Daily " together.
