For those of you who read WSJ for the articles, the new BlackBerry-compatible WSJ.com Mobile Reader will open up the nasty walled garden that is WSJ.com. The application will be free and most of the content will be open, although there are plans to lock it down in the near future. The application will draw in stories from WSJ.com, AllThingsD.com, and MarketWatch.com.
You can track specific companies and get 30-minute old stock quotes on the fly. Why no iPhone implementation? Until HSBC pulls the trigger on Apple, the iPhone isn’t quite WSJ’s audience.

suck it
ewww that looks nasty
A pink Blackberry would have really put the button on this post.
LOL!
I’ve seen people with pink cases…
“For those of you who read the WSJ for the articles…” – that sentence makes absolutely no sense.
Now, time for a iPhone app!!!
It looks like that HSBC thing may not have been quite right: http://blog.int...nt-a-story.html
“iPhone isn’t WSJ’s audience” <– This type of thinking is so typical of OldMedia management. They just don’t get it. iPhone is a luxury product, like Mercedes, Gucci, or houses in Atherton. None of those are “useful” in business either, but the demographic who uses them are exactly the demographic the WSJ wants to reach.
Doesn’t WSJ management at least consult the AllThingsD people for advice, or is ATD really Old Media too? Looks like RupertM needs to clean some house…
I’d be really interested in seeing a TechCrunch piece on what devices your readers use. Does anyone actually read TechCrunch on an iPhone? a Blackberry? N95? Razr? (for that matter, Macintosh? Windows XP?)
Since you figger that Techcrunch appeals to the early adopter/bellwether crowd, it probably signals where most of the rest of the media world will eventually end up.
I think ARRINGTON has been had gooood:

his original BIGFOOT story finally got resolved… read the details here… http://www.anyt...com/bigfoot.htm
there is a new sucker born every minute.. not surprising he’s not writing about it anymore… whatever happened with his webtablet by the way the $200 machine is it out yet
What stumps me is why we don’t have better technology to GET RID of the arsenic that’s in our tap water and is giving us DIABETES
Read the story here: http://www.news...es.com/article2
That HSBC iPhone story is completely bogus. Surprise surprise, TechCrunch isn’t reporting the correction to the story since it’s clearly overtly biased towards the iPhone.
“There are no current plans to replace the BlackBerry,” HSBC spokesman Donal McCarthy said Tuesday from the bank’s headquarters in London. “It is the business standard.”
though many business people use balckberry phone, WSJ should not biase to blackberry , iphone also have so many potential users for them.
Looking forward to downloading it on this end! Great stuff!
*yawn* the blackberry is so boring…I love my iPhone! I can do ANYTHING on it and then some.
How about an S60 version?
This is a great little app. For screenshots and a review, please visit: http://www.blak...nges-yet-again/
