According to the Financial Times (registration required) News Corp is looking into setting up a dedicated unit within the company to provide content for a subscription application for tablets. The article says that this was brought about by News Corp’s early success in selling subscriptions on the iPad.
Evidently the service is not supposed to be something that would merely replicate a print newspaper on the iPad, and would have its own new staff and would borrow the resources, but not the content, of the New York Post, Dow Jones and external news sources.
A decision is expected by the autumn.
