Wall Street Journal’s mobile reader for Blackberry
My managing editor may love this stuff. World’s second most popular newspaper, Wall Street Journal, recently just launched its specific mobile reader for Blackberry devices, the WSJ.com Mobile Reader. Of course, this is not a copy cat of that magnificent yet complex NYT’s TimesReader. But as the name suggest itself, it is just a reader that could enhance your readability when reading WSJ’s content.
Some advantages which you can get from this mobile app are:
- Simple user interface and differentiated content tabs - What’s News, Tech, MarketWatch, Columns and more - with the option to customize categories and news sources for a personalized experience.
- “My Stocks” allows users to track select companies with stock quotes (up to a 30-minute delay) and headlines.
- “My Keywords” lets users track news most important to them by choosing keywords and receiving alerts directly from select search engines.
- “My Feeds” tab allows users to add RSS feeds from other sites and blogs
- Articles can be saved or shared via social bookmarking and social networking sites.
- Seamless integration with a user’s BlackBerry smartphone address book, allowing articles to be easily shared with friends and colleagues.
- Headlines, article summaries and previously downloaded articles are still available when offline for true anytime access.
This application will be your perfect weapon to enjoy stories from WSJ.com, AllThingsD.com (I always love uncle Walt Mossberg), and MarketWatch.com. To date, this is still a free stuff. WSJ’s fans who want to download it may entering their email here and get that download link through that email.
So hurry up. Before the king Rupert Murdoch change his mind. He .. he .. he …

I agree Wim. I also think this is one slick app for the BB. Here is my review with screenshots: http://www.blakebrannon.com/2008/08/20/blackberry-wsj-the-game-changes-yet-again/
