I can honestly say I have never heard of Eddy Cue before. Hopefully he will tell us many interesting things about it though.

Picked him because it's part of their effort to get more faces out there. You know, show that Apple isn't just Steve Jobs. I can't wait to hear what he has to say.

Why pay for The Daily?
Good question. I will for sure try out the free trial and than go from there - maybe the app is worth paying for.
