-I'm Caroline McCarthy for CNET News and we are at the Guggenheim Museum of Art in New York where today News Corporation unveiled The Daily, what it says is the first daily news publication optimized and designed specifically for Apple's iPad.
-I'm pleased to welcome you to the launch of The Daily--a national news publication for the iPad that we have created from scratch.
-Right now, the content from The Daily is available only on the iPad app and on the web behind a pay wall.
Currently, there are no plans to release it on any other tablet devices, though Rupert Murdoch has said that when the tablet market beyond the iPad is a little bit more mature, then he wants to be on every major tablet device.
As for subscription fees, The Daily costs 99 cents per week or $39.99 if you want to pay for an entire year up front.
