According to the WSJ, Apple&#8217;s putting its massive newspaper-and-magazine-revival-on-the-iPad effort on the &#8220;backburner in favor of focusing on other content,&#8221; like its long-festering plan to bundle <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5395251\/apple-wants-itunes-to-replace-your-cable-box-for-30-bucks-a-month\">TV shows as a pseudo-subscription service<\/a> through iTunes, as well as selling certain TV shows <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5469120\/is-apple-finally-getting-serious-about-tv\">for a buck<\/a> an episode. The idea being to get the deals in place by April 3, in time for the iPad launch. But! Everybody&#8217;s still being wishy-washy on signing to Apple&#8217;s terms, just like they have been for the last several months. So, maybe it&#8217;ll happen, maybe it won&#8217;t. I wouldn&#8217;t bet on the best stuff being available on launch day, myself.
