The prices are:
$15: web access + any smartphone app (iOS, Android, Blackberry) You can use this subscription on multiple phones.
$20: web access + any tablet reader app (Times Reader 2.0, iPad and Chrome devices) - if you pay for a subscription using Times Reader 2 you will be able to use the same sub for the iPad app, no extra charge.
$35: web access + smartphone + tablet access
So you're only paying twice if you want it on your iPhone
and iPad. I'd be interested to see if people with Android tablets will find that they can use the standard (lower-priced) Android smartphone app. I notice that NYT has a specific Android app for
tablets which isn't mentioned anywhere in their pricing plans.
Maybe the $20 and $35 levels are the method they've chosen to compensate for the Apple Tax (camouflaged by lumping in the desktop and Chrome apps) and Android users will be able to pay only $15.
