News Corp's The Daily Is Doomed

    Many users find they are bored with the iPad and use it less and less each month.

    It's funny you should make that assertion! Too bad it's completely baseless.

    From the link I just provided: "77.6 percent of the users found their iPad usage went up after their initial “honeymoon” period."

    That doesn't mean *this app* will be successful, but it certainly won't fail for the reason you suggest.
