The BBC reader app isn't rubbish, functionally speaking. It is
aesthetically dubious though. However, it the people who created it
are offering it for free and it functions well as an offline reader.
If the BBC had enough dev effort on hand to create a New York Times or
Bloomberg app, I'd agree with the concerns about branding
infringement, but as it stands right now, our nice, open RSS feeds
have just generated us a quite reasonable first generation BBC offiine
reader for the iPhone. In a tenth of the time that and equivalent
Nokia java app would gave taken to commission.

Being fair... use of the logo means "official". No use of the logo
means "unofficial". That's what the Backstage licence basically says.
Do a quick iTunes search for BBCReader - that app really concerns
me, since it's rubbish and people think it's the BBC's.
