The Guardian reported this weekend which News Corp head Rupert Murdoch as well as Apple executive Steve Jobs have collaborated to emanate a digital-only journal written specifically for tablets, including a iPad. Unlike alternative attempts to change publications from print to screen, there will be no print or web editions of this venture.

If only 5% of those 40 million allow to a Daily, thats already dual million customers.
