Hot off the press (no pun intended) this evening is the release of the New York Times app for those lucky enough to be picking up a BlackBerry Z10. The app provides top news articles free of charge, or users can subscribe for further content, such as video and slide shows.
With deep sharing integration, sharing a news story is only a few screen taps away. Like thousands of new BlackBerry 10 apps you can share via e-mail, SMS, social networks and BBM just to name a few.
You can catch the full press release below along with the download link.
