aftenposten-iphoneThe iPhone application for the newspaper New York Times, is one of my favorite. I have not often read their paper or traditional Internet edition. Sadly, I didn’t notice that also Aftenposten released such an application two weeks ago.

I have now installed it and find there to be pros and cons with this application. Two big pros: Reading the main news is easier then ever and including business news from E24.

I don’t care about the Soccer news section, but I think it should be included. What I don’t understand is why they have included a Gallery section. I don’t think iPhone users view pictures to much on their phones. Bandwidth costs, but more important I have turned off 3G support most of the time, simply to have the longest possible battery time. What Aftenposten rather should do with their fourth news section in this application, is news based on geolocation awareness. Readers should simply get newsstreams from the biggest cities/towns in Norway.
