Because the read-things-on-devices market isn’t crowded enough, the Wall Street Journal claims Google is looking into a “digital newsstand” to deliver major print media outlets onto Android-powered devices.
A subscription-based news model would put Google in direct competition with similar efforts by Amazon and Apple, none of which have been overwhelmingly successful, but competition in the field and the likely lower resulting prices couldn’t hurt news outlets’ chances at gaining wider acceptance. Do you want your news delivered to your Android, app-style?
