Oh yes, you are correct... this application sounds wonderful... I can access the news anywhere. I'll download this new application right away.

(this is my 4th attempt).

OK for me as well?

Welcome to The Nation's new app designed to break new grounds

I was going to hire a crew to dig out the foundation for my new house, but I've decided to use the Nation's new app on my I-Phone instead.

Just as I thought.. I had a look at the link... and you have to pay... no thanks...

I have had a free The Nation iPhone App for a few months.

Sounds wonderful: “the most bestest”.

Don't bother. I just downloaded it. The app may be free, but it's only a 30 day trial. After that, the service costs US$3.99/month! That must make the Nation news app service the most expensive news subscription I have seen so far.

Just use Safari and look at their site for free if you absolutely have to have a Nation news fix and can't wait to check it out on your computer.

I feel for you. I really do.

Sorry! but what is an IPhone? I have seen them advertised but are they different from an ordinary mobile with GPRS

What is an iPhone? You're joking, right? Well, maybe not.

Nice Review from someone who read the promotion:

"For an English language newspaper, the English used in the app description here is pathetic. We hope that the Nation employs better English language editors and writers for their printed and electronic product. For example, what does this mean? "Innovations which The Nation's iPhone app can further excel". I haven't a clue..."

"Monkey See, Monkey Do" might be a better working title for this VAPORWARE !!!

Another nice feature that the iPhone has is spell checking as you tap, and also automatic full stops with capitalisation of the first words in sentences. Using an iPhone, you will not end up with marginally coherent text, such as above.

The only people I see carrying the Iphone these days are 10 year old rich kids and bg's who got it as down payment towards future phone calls.

Is this the demographic The Nation is aiming at?

I have booked marked Nation on my Blackberry Browser and can get it anytime, anywhere (and Nation) at no cost. Eat your heart out iphone.

OK, cool. I have bookmarked in on my iPhone browser (Safari) and I can get it any time. And I can also access tens of thousands of applications that run on my iPhone, including a free Nation app (the one without the subscription). Can your Blackberry do that? If not...eat some crow.

When I saw the 3.99 a month charge, I laughed out of my seat. Bangkok Post has an Iphone app as well, and its free. Lets see, which one will i choose? snark

Why do you need to have an app view the Nation or any other website on your Iphone or Bberry? I use opera mini browser and all the websites I choose to look at are fine - and free.

edit to add just noticed new version for all phones - faster than safari they claim..

I agree. You don't have to have an application for websites or something like The Nation, but apps do make for easier use when they grab the information and present it for a mobile platform and display. AFAIK, The Nation doesn't have a mobile formatted entry, so there is a lot of resizing and moving around of pages to see what you want to see.

agreed, in addition to taking forever to load why can't they do something like ,,, http://timesmobile.mobi/

try it on your phone, even cnn is pretty good.

The only people that are going to buy this are people that work at the nation. 3.99/month are you kidding?

Will they bother to update the app on a Sunday? Unlike their new public website.

Very poor.
