Launch of 'The Daily' iPad Newspaper Planned for January

Rupert Murdoch plans to launch his tablet newspaper, 'The Daily', the week of January 17th, according to MediaMemo sources.

Given that News Corp. has hired dozens of blabby journalists for the Daily, and interviewed many more, lots of other details about the app/service have leaked out already: It will come out daily, it will sell for 99 cents a week, it will use lots of video and it will have cool multimedia bells and whistles, including some kind of 3-D effect that lots of people are very excited about. And Apple CEO Steve Jobs may or may not participate in a launch event.

It was previously rumored that Apple would hold a press conference this month at which time 'The Daily' would be unveiled alongside a new "push" subscription feature from Apple. It seems as though things may have been delayed until early next year.
