The New York Times -- which recently announced a new paywall beginning March 28th for their digital content that has garnered criticism for its expensive and confusing mobile-device pricing structures -- has begun e-mailing regular users of its web portal with the offer of a year free subscription to the web and their choice of a mobile version, The Loop reports. The offer includes the iPhone and iPad editions (for which the NYT charges different subscription rates) but does leave out at least one key feature, and excludes e-readers such as the Kindle from the offer.
