Hence the non-comparable Editors' Choice app.

It's not entirely clear why the Times has not released a full-content iPad app yet, but we hear it's related to the newspaper's existing agreement for the Amazon Kindle, which apparently precludes the paper from releasing a cheaper, comparable e-edition on a competing tablet. In fact, NYT Editors' Choice was not even listed in the 'News' section of the iPad app store for weeks after the device launched, we're told, although it has since been filed there. Apple has not profiled NYT Editors' Choice within its app store, where it regularly showers special attention on 'noteworthy' and 'favorite' applications, assembles bundles of blessed apps with themes like 'Music Creation' or 'For Kids,' and even names an 'App of the Week.' It has not been lost on said executives that Jobs and his underlings left the app in the shadows. Jobs clearly wanted to make access to the electronic Times a big selling point for Apple's tablet computer the Apple CEO put the paper's website at the center of full-page magazine ads for the iPad, and even shared the stage at iPad's unveiling with a Times executive, who demoed a preliminary version of the paper's iPad software.īut Jobs doesn't like the limited app the Times came out with, called 'NYT Editors' Choice,' and his displeasure has been made known to senior Times Company executives, according to a source close to the paper.
