Read the WSJ Free on Your Blackberry

If you've got a Blackberry, you can now read the Wall Street Journal for free. In a nice reversal for a newspaper that seems to pride itself on hiding its best stuff behind a pay wall, the WSJ has worked up a simple and useful app for Blackberry users that quickly lets readers scan article blurbs, read full-length articles, and even save favorites for offline reading (like on the subway).

Press once to read a summary, and twice to read the whole article. It's as simple as that. The only trouble I had with the app was getting the WSJ to send it to me from their launch page. If that happens to you, just email this page to your blackberry and download it from there (thanks, Silicon Alley Insider). And don't worry, iPhone users, the Murdochians assure us they've got a similar app coming for you guys soon.
