This is a great app, and I especially appreciate it as someone who is using an ipod touch, not an iphone. Too many apps like this function as a slick portal to the main web site (ESPN, etc.) and are useless without a constant internet connection. The NY Times app actually downloads all the content to your device so you can read everything offline. I wish more media companies would offer apps like this.

D’oh! I did a search for iPhone, but didn’t see this . . .
