It offers automatic synching and lets you store aricles directly to your handsets for offline reading later on.
“With this new application for BlackBerry Smartphones, we are offering BlackBerry users with the latest models a faster, more dynamic and more personalized experience for reading up-to-the-minute news, analysis and opinion from NYTimes.com,” says Marc Frons, NYT CTO/digital operations.
