We don’t usually find our latest tech news in Women’s Wear Daily yet the publication seems to have scooped Rupert Murdoch’s plans for a tablet-only newspaper called The Daily — news now seemingly confirmed by the New York Times . Scheduled for release early next year, The Daily is expected to cost 99 cents per week (about $4.25 per month) for an electronic paper published seven days a week by a 100-member strong newsroom staffed with “twentysomething” talent led by a former managing editor from the New York Post . According to the sources speaking to WWD, It’ll be written with the “sensibilities” of a tabloid and the intelligence of a broadsheet focusing on national news. In other words, it’s said to be like “The New York Post Goes to College.” A beta is expected by Christmas before hitting the iPad “and other tablet devices” sometime in early 2011.

By Chris Hedges There is no hope left for achieving significant reform or restoring our democracy through established mechanisms of power. We must take to the streets, armed with the tiny acts of truth and kindness that throughout history have exposed the oppressor’s cruelty.

We joked that the Droid 2 didn’t need a marketing campaign , the leaks were getting so much press, and lo and behold, its Droid 2 Global refresh hit shelves without a single official word from Verizon. We figured the wireless carrier had taken our idea to heart and would rely entirely on word of mouth to sell the 1.2GHz worldphone, but if that’s the case, Big Red’s bending the rules — it’s given the handset a quick Facebook plug to speed that process along. At 215 characters, the status update is a little bit long to retweet, but you can Like it all you want… or even use it as a soapbox if you really must.

Those wily shoppers at QVC have beaten the world once again in securing an exclusive on Pandigital’s 9-inch Novel tablet . You’ll recall that we weren’t exactly overwhelmed with joy after handling the 7-inch Novel , and sadly this new slate looks like nothing more than a growth spurt, bringing as it does the same resistive touchscreen, B&N ebook store access, 2GB of integrated storage, and 802.11b/g WiFi highlights. Admittedly, QVC throws in a 4GB microSD card and prices it at an affordable $214, but we’re always wary of Android devices that neglect to state which version of the OS they’re running. Hit up the source link if you’re more courageous — or if you just want to watch the longest infomercial of your life.
