App offers a great way to read the news—once it finishes loading

by Ben Boychuk, Macworld.com

News junkies have good reason to rejoice over the NYTimes app for the iPhone and iPod touch. Say what you will about the New York Times, it remains one of the finest newspapers in the United States. Unlike many old media institutions, the Times recognized early on the need to embrace new media innovation. The newspaper’s Web site is one of the most popular on the Internet, attracting about 13 million readers a month. The Times’ AvantGo portal was speedy and popular with users. It was only natural, then, that the Times would develop a free application for the iPhone and iPod touch that extends its online brand further.
