Newspaper Developing Its Own Tablet

Newspaper developing its own tablet

Hoping to take a small slice from Apple's big pie, newspaper publishers are developing tablet computers of their own.

It has never been their thing. What makes them think they can compete with Apple, Google, and every wireless carrier who has or is developing a line of tablets.
