said the venture would have its own editorial staff, but would also use resources from News Corp publications, such as the New York Post and Dow Jones.

He said tens of thousands of readers had already downloaded apps for The Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Australian, and it looked likely Apple would sell more than 40 million iPads by 2012.
