The Daily News Publication for iPad is Now Available

Following its media event earlier today News Corp has released 'The Daily', the first digital news publication created exclusively for the iPad.

Built from scratch by a team of top journalists and designers, The Daily covers the world: breaking news, sports, pop culture, entertainment, apps, games, technology, opinion, celebrity gossip and more. The Daily has the depth and quality of a magazine but is delivered daily like a newspaper and updated in real-time like the web.

Great stories, photos, video, audio and graphics come alive the more you touch, swipe, tap and explore. The customized sports section allows you to follow your favorite teams' scores, pictures, headlines – and even players' tweets.

The Daily includes:

• Over 100 pages of original content every single day of the year
• Original HD videos
• 360-degree photos you can explore by swiping
• Immersive photography
• Interactive charts, info-graphics and clickable hot spots
• Saving articles to read later
• Sharing Web-friendly versions of articles via Twitter, Facebook and e-mail
• Your favorite sports teams' scores, news and photos
• In-app commenting — including audio comments
• Your local weather
• New crossword and sudoku puzzles every day

The Daily is also the first app to feature Apple's new In-App Subscriptions service. After a free two-week period, subscriptions are available at $0.99 per week or $39.99 per year. The fees will be automatically billed to your iTunes account.

You can download The Daily from the App Store for free.
