The stock market thinks the new iPad will make a lot of money for Apple and AT&T with both companies share prices rising yesterday. What’s still questionable is whether it will add to the bottom line of the struggling newspaper industry. I hope so, but I have my doubts.

Did you hear about NY Newsday? After 3 months, only 35 subscriptions for Newsday’s Web Site

I calculated it will cost you roughly twice the price of home delivery to read your New York Times this way, with all of said cost going to Apple and AT&T. The NYT presently gives it’s content away for free on the internet but will start charging for it’s online version in 2011. The price point of the device and provider will have to come down to make the new media economically viable.
Stay tuned
