WSJ now available on iPhone

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.”
