For a long time now I've wondered why newspaper groups don't come together and build a common walled garden tablet. Android tablets are starting to get very cheap, why not fork android, build your own "news" app store with some very basic rules e.g.
1) only news based services + perhaps twitter & facebook for sharing
2) no free content
Newspapers offer their customers the readers at a subsidised price maybe $19.99 or similar and adopt a "tablet" first doctrine for news.
Might be a way to get people to pay for news...
