Barron’s now has an iPad application that is free to download and costs $2.99 a week for the latest issue. Current print subscribers receive it for free.
Tiernan Ray of Barron’s writes, “Like its Wall Street Journal sibling, the Barron’s iPad edition is a convincing digital simulacrum of the print version, and contains a splash/home screen that will also hold onto the last six issues of the paper. You can also save articles for reading later.
“The app is free to download, and then costs $2.99 per week, which gives you full access to this Web site, as well. A pittance, I should think, for all that rich content!
“There are some pieces from Barrons.com on the iPad edition, including the Weekday Trader, the Barron’s Take, The Striking Price, and Getting Technical, though there is no content from Tech Trader Daily on the piece, at least not yet; For that, you’ll have to come back here regularly.”
