For those who must stay up with ArXive, there is ArXiview, a new iPhone application billed as “a very easy way to surf the last few weeks of arXiv postings.”   Developed by Paul Gingsparg then of the Los Alamos Nattional Laboratory and now of Cornell University, arXiv.org provides “Open Access to 534,588 e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics.” [04-24-09].

ArXiview was designed by Dave Bacon, a theoretical physicist at the University of Washington, http://dabacon.org/arxiview/
