Wall Street Journal’s Mobile Reader

Silicon Alley Insider: Yes, newspapers are screwed. But that isn’t stopping some of them from coming up with some really interesting digital projects. So far we’ve seen the New York Times release a slew of cool gizmos and gadgets. But the Wall Street Journal’s Mobile Reader is easily our favorite to date.
The software, available today, is one of those tools that makes instant sense the first time you get your hands on it: It delivers all of the Journal’s content, updated constantly, in whatever form makes the most sense to you.
If you want to just scan headlines, you can do that. Click once and you’ll instantly get a one-paragraph summary; click again and it will download the entire article, which takes about 10 seconds, max. The reader also passes our subway/airplane test with flying colors — it lets you save stories you’ve downloaded so you can read them when you’re underground or in the air.
