Sign up for one year of New York Times Reader 2.0 and receive $100 dollars off Samsung Go Netbook
You’ve seen mobile broadband/netbook packages, but how about content/netbook packages instead?
That’s exactly what the New York Times is doing with their newly announced Times Reader 2.0/Samsung Go netbook bundle. New subscribers to the Times Reader 2.0 can order a one year agreement to the Times Reader 2.0 and receive a $100 dollar discount towards the purchase of a Samsung Go netbook. The special edition Samsung Go will come with the Times Reader 2.0 application pre-installed. The offer is available exclusively through J&R Music and Computer World.
To purchase the one year-subscription to Times Reader 2.0 (which will cost you $179.40) and redeem the $100 dollar off Samsung Go netbook, go to http://www.nytimes.com/TRNB. This offer will be good until March of 2010 and is available only to new subscribers of the Times Reader. J&R Music and Computer World currently offers the Samsung Go for $339.99
For those of you unfamiliar with the Times Reader 2.0 app, it’s an Adobe AIR application which delivers the New York Times in a new exciting way. “Dive into sections or browse the headlines and even pictures easily. Connect to the Web to get the latest news throughout the day, and watch our exclusive videos.” Key features of the Times Reader 2.0 include:
- Parallels printed news with columns of high-quality text, combined with the dynamic flexibility of the Web, including search, links and up-to-the minute headlines.
- Downloads the Latest News section every five minutes from NYTimes.com. Users can customize how often the Latest News is updated.
- Online/offline reading capabilities, allowing readers to sync content via internet connection and then read 7 days worth of content offline.
- Integrates interactive version of The New York Times premium crossword puzzle.
This is certainly a good deal for frequent readers of the New York Times (like myself). About the only thing missing from this deal would be a bundled mobile broadband package allowing users to access the New York Times content anywhere they take their netbook. Seems like there’s an opportunity for further subsidization around here..
