The Economist publishes iPad app
Free-trade tablet
What you need to know about cloud backup
Anti-Corn Law nag rag The Economist has arrived on the iPad and iPhone in the form of a dedicated app.
Subscribers - whether of the web or paper version - don't have to pay for the tablet-enscribed content. The rest of us will have to cough up £3.49 for each issue, billed through iTunes. The app itself is free.

From paper...
Copies are retained for future reading - or until you run out of room, presumably.
At your local newsagents, a copy costs £4, but the price of the free-trade advocate's annual subscription is £102.00, which makes it £2 for a printed version by post.

...to 'Pad
Each week's issue will be made available at 9pm GMT every Thursday, The Economist said with the ruthless precision for which it is famous. ®

Fantastic - also available as an iPhone app
Just downloaded the app (also available for the iPhone) and my first impressions are that it's excellent.
Listen to it
Subscription also includes an excellent reading of the issue, cover to cover or selected sections as you prefer, which is great if you're on the move. Far more important and innovative for me than any device-specific application.
At last...
How long did that take?
Maybe now I'll actually read the thing...
