The Economist launches on iPhone and iPad this week
Get ready for our app launch on November 19th
By T.S.
AND now, the moment many readers have been waiting for: The Economist will launch its iPhone and iPad apps this week, on November 19th. We'll announce all the details then, but we want to reassure subscribers that full access to The Economist on both devices (and on iPod touch, of course) will be free for current print or online subscribers. If you have already activated your Economist online account (in other words, if you have associated your Economist.com credentials with your print subscription, or if you have a web-only subscription), you will be able to use the same log-in details to access The Economist via the apps, which will be free to download. So if you have not already activated your Economist online account you may wish to activate it now to ensure that you will have immediate access via the apps when they launch on Friday.
