Your IT - Mobility

The Australian newspaper will be launching the first Aussie newspaper application for the Apple iPad, as excitement continues to build for the device.

 

According to an announcement from The Australian, the upcoming iPad app will be updated regularly with fresh content and new features in the coming months. The app follows comments from Rupert Murdoch that the iPad is the "saviour of news".

The Australian's Editor-in-chief Chris Mitchell said the app will allow his newspaper to lead the way in terms of new technology.

"This is an exciting development for our readers, who want The Australian's agenda-setting news and authoritative comment as it happens, wherever they are," said Mitchell.

"We are investing significantly in digital media as this will be the way a new generation of readers will choose to consume our journalism."

The app will have an "introductory price" of $4.99 per month and will be available to download on the iPad app store from 28 May, the same day that the iPad is finally released in Australia.
