The Daily iPad Newspaper to Launch on January 19th?

The planned launch date for News Corp's iPad-only publication "The Daily" is January 19th, according to Forbes.

The debut can’t come soon enough for The Daily’s staffers, who for weeks have been engaged in full-scale dry runs, cranking out dummy issues for what I’ve been told is a distribution list of 1,000 privileged readers. (If you’re on the list and you want to email me a few screen grabs, I’d take that ever so kindly.) Some of that content presumably consists of features that can be banked, but a lot of it is news, meaning its sell-by date will long have passed by the time The Daily goes live.

The company has still not revealed anything about the publication but they have put up a teaser site at thedaily.com with a "Coming Soon" message.
