Branson vs. Murdoch: Who will win iPad media battle?
Branson and Murdoch will go head-to-head with their specialised iPad-only publications, but who will come out on top?

But if Virgin can get a hold on the entertainment sector after iPads really catch on and before others crowd the space, Branson and Co could easily find themselves in a strong position.
The Daily, meanwhile, will have a hard time trying to dominate what will soon be a saturated market, particularly if any paywall stays standing.
