New Yorker App

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

I thought I would drop a post here to say that I have the New Yorker App working on my rooted T1. I spent a lot of time searching the web to see if it would work, and couldn't find anything and ended up figuring it out.

I couldn't stand having a reader without the new yorker magazine. Note, that you do have to have a subscription.

If there is anyone else out there trying to figure it out, here's how I did it:
- rooted t1
- download dolphin mini browser apk and install through dropbox (because it allows the t1 to do downloads)
- with the new browser go to www.nextissue.com/instructions.html scroll to the bottom and click "try downloading again" to download the nextissue app.
-install, find the new yorker and fill out the forms to activate your digital subscription.

It works okay, the page turn is pretty painful (lots of flashing) but I can survive it (if anyone has tips on how to bypass the page turn animations that would be great).

I also tried installing the New Yorker apk from the kindle fire that I found on xda but it wouldn't work because it need adobe air and adobe air is too big to put onto the limited space on the t1.
