When Sony announced the Reader Daily Edition back in August, they hadn’t confirmed which newspapers would be offered alongside the ebooks. It’s just News Corp titles for now, with the Wall Street Journal and New York Post being confirmed.
Well, this is a shame, if inevitable: The Wall Street Journal will soon start charging non-subscribers two US bucks a week to use its iPhone app, which is currently free (and better than the NYT app). Even subscribers will have to pony up an extra buck a week for the privilege.
Walt Mossberg, that wrinkly goateed goblin hired by the Wall Street Journal for some reason, is known as the world’s most powerful Apple fanboy, at least to him. The latest Mosspuppet video, featuring Muppet Mossberg, includes a not-so-friendly Gizmodo shout-out.
