Newspaper company launches its own Android tablet

This will end well. Newspapers have ALWAYS been the bastian of technological innovation, especially with proprietary products. Why I remember Delphi, CD-I, "download a PDF of our Quark Files!," and hell, the BBS I ran for one.

60 year old newspaper editor says "a tablet cost as much as our annual subscription" and somehow that leads to this, rather than maybe reevaluating the cost of their subscription.

It's great to see Newspaper industry trying something different. I don't know if this will save them but innovation is almost always the step in the right direction.
