Mail Newspapers has also confirmed that Mail Plus is set to launch for both the iPad and iPad Mini in mid-December and will feature editorial and commercial content. A new daily magazine is also planned featuring additional lifestyle content and interactive material such as a daily five-minute cookery demonstration from celebrity chef Gary Rhodes.
The app will also enable e-commerce, with users able to link through from editorial content to featured retailers or brand websites.
