Ongo for iPad is a good start, but it's far from a home run

by Mel Martin (Jan 27th, 2011)

We told you yesterday that Ongo was on the way to the iPad. It's now on the App Store, and I've had some time to play with it. Ongo is a joint venture by several newspaper companies to create a paid, ad-free news aggregator that is easy to use and will appeal to the news junkie. After some hours ...

New York Times updates iPad app to stop constant crashing

by Mel Martin (Dec 28th, 2010)

It's about time. Ever since the NYTimes for iPad app replaced the lame Editors' Choice app, it has been tough sledding trying to read the news. It often took a long time to load, and then before displaying a single story, it crashed. I reinstalled the app, and that made things better for a while ...

by Richard Gaywood (Nov 15th, 2010)

If you were intrigued by our former coverage of Pulse, a slick reimagining of how RSS feeds can work on the iPad and iPhone, but were put off by the modest asking price, here's a good way to start your week. As the New York Times reports, Alphonso Labs has secured $800k in venture capital funding ...

by David Winograd (Nov 4th, 2010)

New York Times iPad app gets bug fix but still somewhat flaky

by Mel Martin (Nov 3rd, 2010)

The New York Times for iPad app has received a much-needed update. The first version, introduced in the middle of October, replaced the older free Editor's Choice app, which only had a small subset of Times content. This new version is free but only temporarily, as the newspaper intends to start ...

New York Times replaces Editor's Choice app with full content

by Dave Caolo (Oct 15th, 2010)

The New York Times has replaced its limited "Editor's Choice" iPad app with a new version that provides the newspaper's full content, pending the user's (free) registration.

Just about everyone thinks the iPhone is coming to Verizon

by Mel Martin (Oct 9th, 2010)

Add the New York Times to the chorus of reporting claiming the iPhone is coming to Verizon early next year. The sources seem credible, even though there have been no end to rumors about our favorite phone making the trek to the big V.t With a good deal of dislike for AT&T and its policies, it ...

by Michael Rose (Oct 3rd, 2010)

There's an interesting Randall Stross piece in Saturday's New York Times about the alternative timeline where Steve Jobs never resigned from Apple. Given his legendary fussiness over every detail and his frustrating inability to get the NeXT hardware platform past the "expensive curiosity" stage, ...

Get the New York Times on iPad via BN... sort of

by Michael Rose (Jul 21st, 2010)

Update: Barnes & Noble's PR team pinged us to point out two salient points. #1, the message above does in fact note that only the iPod touch and iPhone versions of the newspaper/magazine subscriptions are temporarily offline -- the iPad subs are still available, as I found. #2, via the "Go ...

Two days without an iPhone

by Mel Martin (Jun 22nd, 2010)

Last week I went and did it. I reserved the new iPhone. I'll pick it up Thursday morning. To keep the purchase price cheap, I sold my old one to Nextworth, one of a few firms that gives good deals on used electronics. I sent it in yesterday to make sure it got there in time, because they want it ...

New York Times for iPad update adds content

by Dave Caolo (Jun 9th, 2010)

The iPad app that Steve Jobs supposedly dislikes, New York Times Editor's Choice, was updated today. The update partially addresses Steve's primary concern: the app omits a lot of the paper's daily content. Specifically, the new build adds an Arts section and some videos. The Arts section has two ...
