iPhone and iPad App to Add Unlimited Access to the New York Times

New York, New York – Valiant Rock is pleased to announce The Daily Planet 2.7 free for iOS. Users of iPhones and iPads now have unlimited free access to the New York Times articles via The Daily Planet.

The app, which was been heralded as “a perfect application for anyone who is on the go” by iPhoneLife Magazine, added the New York Times to its growing number of news sources, which include the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, BBC, CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg and the Associated Press along with many local news media.

“Many readers were disappointed when the New York Times set up a pay-wall which limited its free access to 20 articles per month,” says Mike Tanovic, VP of Marketing at the firm. “Using the Daily Planet app, users now have unlimited access to the New York Times articles from their iPhones or iPads. This is really exciting news for any iPhone or iPad owners.”

The New York Times articles can be accessed within various categories along with news from other sources or by themselves under “Popular Sources, New York Times”, where all New York Times articles are grouped by section. The “New York Times” category is also included under “My Favorites” as a default for new users.

“The Daily Planet app changed how people access news. Users determine not only the types of news, but their sources and how they are delivered,” says Mr. Tanovic. “A user may want politics news only from the Washington Post, business news from CNBC & the WSJ and movie reviews from all sorts of media. The Daily Planet app can do just that. Another user may want to listen to 3-minute audio news updates everyday while a different user may want to browse all headlines from various sources by category.”

After the launch, the app has been very well received with numerous praises from magazines, app-reviews web sites, blogger and users alike. The company expects even more users with a full inclusion of the New York Times contents for free.

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 2.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
The Daily Planet 2.7 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the News category.

Yup, just as we’ve told you before, Ubuntu is coming to a Meizu smartphone near you. We still don’t have the official announcement, but details keep coming.,, The latest information (or that’s confirmation) comes from Meizu Russia, which says that Meizu engineers are in fact working on an Ubuntu version of the Meizu MX3. The work is apparently still underway to make things stable, and in the meantime they [engineers] are also working on a new version of Android-based Flyme ROM for both the Meizu MX2 and MX3, adding that Ubuntu won’t be released until the updated Flyme ROM is launched. It is said that Meizu will use Ubuntu as its ticket to the US market later in the year.
