The Daily has launched. It’s the first “newspaper” designed specifically for the iPad and they’ll be charging $1.00 a week. It does do some things that have not been available on the iPad before like subscriptions, sharing and pushing content. Will it embolden other publishers to charge for content? Will it be able to produce the revenue stream that publishers need?  Check it out. The first 2 weeks are free.

And one thing about the iPad for sure: videos look amazing on that device.

add: here’s the Guardian’s live blog of the launch with some interesting observations and comments for industry wise men/women.
