CNN App for Android Honeycomb Tablets Now Available via Android Market
CNN announced the launch of its CNN App for the Android Honeycomb tablet platform, available free-of-charge via the Android Market.
As the cable news network detailed earlier this month, the app includes iReport capture and upload functionality, live and on-demand video, and CNN Radio updates. The main screen can be viewed in Broadsheet mode, which presents up to 350 stories, along with images and headlines, as well as direct access to the other components mentioned above.
Users can comment alongside content on the screen and share text stories and images via email, Facebook, and Twitter, and they can also flip through story headlines and images directly on their home screens by accessing the app’s layered image widget.
The app marks the first time user-generated news community iReport is available on a tablet, and its live video takes advantage of HTTP live streaming capabilities.
CNN App for iPad Debuts
This is CNN … for the iPad. CNN App for iPad is now available via the iTunes Store, free-of-charge, and CNN also announced that its iPhone and iPod Touch app is now also available free, and an update will bring live breaking-news video to its international app.
CNN App for iPad offers the options of viewing in broadsheet, list view, and slide show mode, and it includes text stories, blog posts, photo galleries, and video, both live and on-demand. Users can toggle between U.S. and international, and listen to hourly audio updates from CNN Radio in U.S. mode.
Broadsheet offers up to 350 news stories in a grid format, and users can choose via headline, topic, or the Featured section. List view, much as it sounds, is a running list of headlines by topic or category. And slide show allows users to scroll and swipe across a visual presentation of the day’s headlines.
The user comment feature allows sharing of stories, images, and video via email, Facebook, and Twitter. The app is updated in real-time, and push notifications alert users to important developments.
Lexus is the launch advertiser for CNN App for iPad.
