Article writing for iPhone or iPad Blog

We are looking for a talented author to write some iPhone/iPad related articles for our blog. We have not outsourced writing before so this is a trial only. To start off with, we are looking for roughly 10-20 articles (500 to 1000 words each) and are prepared to pay up to $1.00-$1.50 per article. All articles must be of a decent length and *must* be in perfect UK english and *must* pass the CopyScape plagiarism system. All authors must be able to conduct their own research and reference sources where required. Ideally, authors should be familiar with the iPhone/iPad, but this is not essential. All articles *must* be specific to current iPhone/iPad affairs (for example, we recently covered the unveiling of the iPhone OS 4.0; the iBook introduction to the iPhone, etc). If you want to use MacRumours, Engadget, Times Online, etc thats fine (basically any sites writing *current* iPhone/iPad related affairs), but you must NOT directly copy the articles themselves, but paraphrasing to an extent is fine. Please sent sample articles if you are interested. We may consider long term deals if the articles are of an appropriate quality.
