An iPad app called Pulse, a visual RSS reader for news headlines is circulating in the news recently.

The app has been developed by a pair of Stanford grad students who even received special mention by Apple CEO Steve Jobs at the Worldwide Developers Conference keynote speech, but out of the blue the app was taken off the shelves, without any reason at that point.

Later the incident it was revealed by the New York Times reporter Brad Stone that the media group Times, has raised a finger on the Pulse app's usage.

According to the NYT, the posts and the RSS feeds of Nytimes. com and Boston. com come for free.

And this message was conveyed by the Times Company's legal team who warned Apple that resulted in removal of the app from its store.

The legal team of Times explains that their Company's RSS fees are free, but the new app Pulse is charging the same for $3.99 on the App Store. However, apparently the Times Company is ready to make a deal with Pulse's creators, as it is with rest of the paid RSS readers.

Robert Christie, a spokesman for the Times Company stated: "We want to be clear that we are willing to work with Pulse, but only under our terms of use."
