News Corp.’s iPad-only newspaper, The Daily, has reportedly been delayed. The Daily is digital, iPad-only newspaper from Rupert Murdoch, which downloads a new edition every morning, like a regular newspaper. Recent rumours had said that ‘The Daily’ would be revealed on January 19th at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art with both Murdoch and Steve Jobs in attendance, however, new sources state that both Apple and News Corp. have made the decision to delay the launch by “weeks, not months”.

The problem is said to lie within Apple’s new subscription service, which uses iTunes to bill subscribers on a weekly or monthly basis, and sync the new edition everyday. A PR representative from News Corp. has confirmed the delay, however Apple has refused to comment.

Is anyone excited for “The Daily” newspaper? Anyone have any apps that they would like to see this NEW subscription service in?

Looks like iBooks 1.1 includes references to x2 iPad graphics, shorthand for Retina Display graphics that would peg iPad 2’s screen at technology-bending 2048×1536. That’s precisely double the current iPad’s 1024×768 in both dimensions, and precisely what Apple did with iPhone 4 last year. (Doubling the pixels is the easiest way to keep existing apps functional and prevent fragmentation and mass developer angst.)

Doubling iPad 2’s resolution would result in a 260dpi display, not as sharp as iPhone 4’s 326dpi. As we’ve said many times, Retina Display is dependent on distance and most people hold an iPad further away than they do an iPhone. So 260dpi should be effectively similar if not the same.

But 2048×1536 is more pixels than the $999 Apple 27″ LED Cinema Display, in a smaller area, and in a device that with all other components — including the rumored Apple A5 chipset powerful enough to drive that many pixels — starting at half the price.

I’m still not sure that technology exists at that price point. I am getting slightly weary of the back and forth rumors though, so hopefully Apple announces their iPad 2 event and Steve Jobs puts this to rest for once and for all.

Meanwhile, speculate away. If Apple puts their mind and supply chain to it could they get this miracle of glass done?
