New York Times drops app support for Palm Pre… and BlackBerry

The New York Times has dropped the Palm Pre and BlackBerry handsets from its suite of mobile apps. While it may not be surprising to hear about the Palm Pre, loyal BlackBerry owners might be taken by surprise by NYT’s decision to no longer allow BlackBerry users to access news stories from their device.
BlackBerry fans, especially those betting on a comeback with BlackBerry 10, should realize that this isn’t a kiss of death for RIM. Murphy did note that this move does not mean they definitely won’t bring back the app for BlackBerry 10 devices.
In the meantime, while the dedicated app no longer works, those affected can still access the Times via their mobile browser.
