Rumors are flying that there's a battle within the NY Times on how to price their app for the iPad. Those on the newspaper side of the house apparently believe that it should be priced at $20 to $30/month to avoid cannibalizing the print product.
Remember what happened when Newsday tried to charge $20+ per month for access to its digital version? It got a grand total of 35 people to sign up.
Some people are so optimistic it hurts. $20 to $30/month for an online newspaper; just wow.
