From the opening paragraph of article linked to by Gruber;

"he publisher of News Corp.’s The Daily said earlier this year that the iPad-only publication might need a few more years to be profitable. Today the company announced it won’t get that chance."

Technically not iPad-only, but if you didn't have an iPad you probably couldn't subscribe. The iPhone version is only available if you own an iPad as well. The Android version is only available on two tablets -- the Kindle Fire and one Samsung tablet... and only if you bought that Samsung tablet from Verizon.

I regret to admit to knowing this, but that's not correct. The subscription tiers were more like;

- iPhone + Android phone sub

- iPad AND iPhone + Android phone sub

Android phone is equivalent to Kindle Fire. I have no idea why the Kindle was promoted over the Android phone, but it wasn't originally conceived as an exclusive.

Even to this day, I have no idea how the Android tablet subscriptions were handled. It was a Verizon exclusive, it was preloaded for exactly one tablet and it couldn't be uninstalled. I don't even know how many tablets were sold like this, but I don't believe it was many.

The Daily for Android tablet did an impressive job of replicating some parts of UIKit for Android. Shame nobody saw it.
