The lulz didn’t stop there, with the Financial Times‘ CEO John Ridding saying “the FT web app offers our customers flexibility and freedom of choice with access to our global journalism anytime, anywhere, with a single login or subscription. In a world of increasingly digital complexity we want to keep our service simple, easy to use and efficient to offer our customers the best possible experience of FT journalism.”
The first week of the Financial Times’ browser app will be free to lure everyone in, and remain free if you read under 10 articles a month, but from there it will cost a certain fee, of which they haven’t disclosed yet.
Recognising that not everyone has an iPad connected to a 3G or Wi-Fi signal at all times, it will also save articles for offline reading. Android and BlackBerry web apps are also on the way. [TechCrunch]

Don’t get me wrong when they get there products right there fantastic to use and I even own an iphone4 but when someone 1ups them you really cant say no one saw the Karma train coming.

Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 8:53 AMThe app seems affected by one of the downsides of straying outside of the apple ecosystem – chronic instability.
I’m an FT subscriber and after the new HTML5 app worked once, it freezes on the splash page.
