by Mike Schramm (Jul 1st, 2011)

The Gray Lady herself has assented to Apple's rules about in-app subscriptions, so you can now subscribe to the vaunted New York Times right from the mobile apps on Apple's iPad and iPhone. We're still not talking about the print edition, so you can't log in on your phone and then have the ...

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (May 5th, 2011)

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 ...

Retaining your masculinity while carrying the iPad

by Michael Gray (Dec 16th, 2010)

The New York Times had an odd post recently in which it responded to men who were having trouble carrying their iPad around town in a masculine fashion. According to the article in its Fashion & Style section, some men have even eschewed taking their iPad in public just because there's a lack of ...

Updated: Pulse News Reader for iOS now free

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 ...

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 ...

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. The app will be free for users until "early 2011." Unlike Editor's Choice, the new version (simply called NYTimes for iPad) ...

In Brief: Jobs' journey through the wilderness made Apple Inc. possible

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 ...

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 ...

Pulse app cheered, then pulled, now back

by Dave Caolo (Jun 8th, 2010)

Update: Pulse is now back on the App Store, presumably after the necessary changes to de-emphasize the NYT and Boston Globe content that had ruffled feathers. The Pulse News Reader for iPad, which we recently reviewed and gave away, has been pulled from the App Store despite praise from Steve ...

Steve hates the New York Times iPad app

by Mel Martin (May 4th, 2010)

That's the word from Gawker. Ryan Tate is quoting people close to the paper who say the Apple CEO is very unhappy with the free New York Times Editor's Choice app, mostly because it leaves out a lot of the content of the daily Times. The trimmed-down Times on iPad stems from a reported deal that ...

Reflections: A day and a night with the iPad

by Mel Martin (Apr 4th, 2010)

Getting an iPad was an unplanned part of my day. My original idea was to wait for version 2, but I found myself at a local Best Buy taking pictures and interviewing people in line, and the manager came out and said there were some available. Bingo. Reality distortion field. Up went my hand. I ...
