Therapy -- new OA journal

Therapy - Open Access in Clinical Medicine is a newly launched OA title from Future Drugs. This title is Future Drugs first foray into the OA realm. Their other nine Expert Reviews... journals are of the traditional toll access (subscription) variety. Quoting a blurb on the journal's main page:
The journal follows a 'hybrid' model, whereby open-access publication of original research papers will be supported by high added value content - reviews, commentaries, profiles and news, which can paid for by subscription or pay-per-view. Articles published in the original research section will be available to download for personal use directly from the site without charge.
The hybrid model described is akin to that employed by Arthritis Research & Therapy, Breast Cancer Research, Critical Care, Genome Biology, and Journal of Biology, which are all hosted by BioMed Central. Therapy - Open Access in Clinical Medicine - Fulltext v1+ (2004+); ISSN: 1475-0708.
