Can't be that far off... I'm sure a lot of us access the site from our phones. And while the mobile site is awesome, an app would make things even faster :)

How? What would an app offer that the mobile version does not?

What does a news app offer that the website does not? Faster loading, personalized articles, offline pages... just to name a few things.

Unfortunately we don't have the resources to implement an app as described. We've done what we can to vastly improve the mobile experience this past year, though, such a massive site is hard to streamline for mobile but we're always looking to make improvements.

Unless your browser is bad at caching, the "background" data files (JS/CSS, frequently used images etc.) should be loaded only once a week or month.
Personalization would be a site-wide feature across all browsers, not something that is limited to some app. We even had e.g. sidebar customization before the current frontpage layout came.
Offline pages can be handled by a decent browser as well - Chrome shows me a cached version a bit too often, even, when my mobile connection is spotty.
Paraphrasing/interpreting Sas, it'd be a small benefit for a much too large development effort.
