It's really quite surprising that it's taken this long to reach the decision, and it will take another year before people start paying anything.

No mention of what will happen to the currently free (and super) iPhone/iTouch app.

I assume it will sadly turn into the WSJ app (few free articles, majority subscriber-only).

Of course, I can see Steve Jobs and Apple working a deal with the NYTimes to bundle a free 1-yr subscription for their iSlate owners.

Speaking of the iPhone/iTouch app, I would love to see a caching HN app. I read NYT on my iPod Touch (without wireless) most days when I walk to/from work, but I would switch to a substitute news source rather than pay.
