Today's newspaper, tomorrow's (iPad) chip wrapper

Monkey exclusive: iPad to save newspapers! Oh... you've already heard that? About a 100 times, you say? Right. But do you know how it's going to save newspapers? Here's how: Japanese commuters are buying newspapers... to fold around their iPads on the underground, stop them being swiped . Brilliant! Back in the day, once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, when all this was just fields... Monkey used to buy the Sun for a similar purpose – to disguise furtive reading of the Economist on the tube. Honest.
