FT's iPad app outsells its iPhone app

The Financial Times‘ iPad app has registered three times more downloads in its first two weeks since launch, than its iPhone app managed, according to the publisher.

John Reynolds of MediaWeek writes, “The Financial Times has recorded around 130,000 downloads of its iPad since it was made available in the US around two weeks ago. No figures are yet available for the UK launch of the FT iPad app last week.

“Both the FT iPad app and FT iPhone app were free of charge to consumers in the two-week period.

“Steve Pinches, lead product development manager of FT.com, said: ‘The FT iPad has had three times the amount of downloads in the first two weeks than on the FT iPhone add during the same period.’

“He added: ‘This is particularly remarkable considering that we launched the iPad app ahead of the international launch, so the overwhelming majority of users who downloaded the FT iPad were from outside the UK.'”
