The Wall Street Journal launches free news reader app for BlackBerry users

The Wall Street Journal seems to think BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) users are more important than those using other mobile phones. Hence, they’ve recently launched a dedicated mobile app to provide CrackBerry addicts with access to all the news from their network for free. The so called WSJ.com Mobile Reader allows users to read latest headlines, summaries and even full articles from WSJ website and from other sites of the WSJ Digital Network — including MarketWatch, Barrons and AllThingsD.
Best of all, when using WSJ.com Mobile Reader, you won’t be seeing any ads. The monetization part seems still “work in progress,” but somehow I’ve no doubts they [ads] will start appearing in no time. Something’s gotta give, after all…
To try out the WSJ.com Mobile Reader, hop over to this page on The Wall Street Journal’s website and take it from there.
