Business magazine The Economist launches Android app

Very serious comic book for grown-ups The Economist has launched an official Android app, promising to bring all of the print version’s content to Android owners on the day of publication.

The app comes with two particularly useful features – offline caching for reading where there’s no connection, plus audio versions of the stories for easy listening to facts about the world’s latest financial disaster. Read the full explanation of what’s included on the app’s Market listing.

Obviously this will require some form of payment. Users with an existing digital or print subscription to the magazine will be able to access all the content for free, or there’s in-app purchasing to buy individual copies on the fly. You know, for whenever you’re in the mood for BUSINESS.
