Although USA Today still makes most of its money from its print edition, the reorganization revolves around smart phones and computer tablets such as Apple Inc.'s iPad, which are creating new ways to sell subscriptions and advertising.

"We have to go where the audience is," Hillkirk said. "If people are hitting the iPad like crazy, or the iPhone or other mobile devices, we've got to be there with the content they want, when they want it."

The executive chairman of JLJ Holdings, Chua Kim Guan, has temporarily stepped down from his duties in the wake of an Apple-related kickback scandal, reports say. Guan is the brother-in-law of Andrew Ang, a former worker at JLJ subsidiary Jin Li Mould, who was named in an Apple lawsuit against Paul Shin Devine, an Apple supply manager. Devine is accused -- by the US government, as well as Apple -- of taking bribes and kickbacks in exchange for giving suppliers access to private information.

Preorders for the iPhone 4 in South Korea were so overwhelming Wednesday that they brought down the servers of carrier KT Corp. 130,000 handsets were sold by 7 p.m. local time in the first 13 hours of registration. KT had to expand its server as the company’s pre-ordering website crashed due to the number of people wishing to pre-order.

The country’s No. 2 mobile carrier started taking in applications at its website and its 2,900 shops nationwide beginning at 6 a.m. The exact date of launch in South Korea, which is only known as sometime in September, has yet to be specified.
