The publication wasn't interested in Apple's subscription service that took a 30 percent cut and didn't share subscriber data - a policy that's been in place for about two months."</em></p><p><img height="331" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1314836236.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" width="592" /></p><p>Can't say as I blame them, when they can create something via a mobile web app, which they have done at <a href="http://app.ft.com/">app.ft.com</a>. According to Financial Times, they had 10% of their subscriber base using the iPad last year, so it's no small number for them. Personally, I don't mind using web versions of periodicals, what are your thoughts?</p>
