Yesterday we asked you whether you would be subscribing to Murdoch’s iPad only newspaper, The Daily, or Richard Branson’s iPad only magazine, Project, which launched this week. Just over two thirds of you said you would not be subscribing to The Daily or Project, 68 per cent of you to be precise.

24 per cent cared about quality, and said that whether you subscribed to either iPad-only publication would depend on the quality of the journalism and how it was packaged.
