The print media as a whole and newspapers in particular are finding revenues depleting in this tough economy. A cyclic downturn in the print industry coupled by being at the cusp of a new era in the way we consume news, is not helping sales either. Finding a new way to generate revinue has become an existential threat.
As they say necessity is the mother of all inventions, NYTimes and Blackberry have partnered on the TimesSkimmer that delivers NYT news to you in seven ways. I think the WSJ Mobile Reader, which is now subscription based, was the first rally usable news reader (not counting icon - shortcuts) and still remains a leader.
I don't have a iPhone nor do I see myself or my company making the switch till MS Outlook/Exchange enterprise email is supported. It looks like the two readers are for Blackberry only.
Humm... Is there an App for that? :)
