Went right in on Atomic. Mine is set stock so probably not showing at Mobile Safari. I guess they want $$$ for their app!

I wonder how long until this backfires...

The NY Post is a Rupert Murdoch publication, I'll have no problem not visiting. ;)

This sort of thing is absolutely stupid..now if the website required payment regardless of the browser being used, that's one thing..but to force people to pay for a app by restricting access through Safari based on the device type is dumb..not that I EVER visited that site..so no big deal for me..:)
