Dan Frommer of Business Insider reports on what it’s like to read The Wall Street Journal on the new iPhone application.
Frommer writes, “We’ve played with the app for a few minutes, and it’s pretty good. Definitely worth the download if you care about business news.
“In addition to what looks like the WSJ’s full content — otherwise hard to read on the iPhone, and not free — it also includes content from other Dow Jones sites like Barron’s and AllThingsD; WSJ audio; and video, which played well over our wi-fi connection.
“One nice feature: It lets you ‘save’ content for later, like when you’re not in cell network range, in the subway, or on a plane. It also seems to automatically store some content — like front-page and ‘markets’ stories, which load first — to read offline. But you have to remember to launch it while you’re online to sync the day’s headlines before you go underground — a limitation of the iPhone, not the WSJ’s app.”
