The Early Edition: officially the #1 paid news app on the iPad!

I had to pinch myself this morning when I woke up and saw that The Early Edition had become the number 1 iPad app in the News category on the App Store. We’ve had such an incredible response from customers and we’d like to thank each and every one of them for shelling out and buying our app.

We’re making steady progress on the 1.1 update which will include Google Reader and OPML import, feed groups, feed discovery, further performance enhancements and some UI adjustments. If you’re really hanging out for any of these improvements, please bear with us and thanks for your patience.

So once again, thanks to our customers and thanks to Apple for featuring a screenshot of ours on the App Store (device) homepage.

Now… Back to work!
