CNN iPhone/iPod Touch App Now Available [Live Streaming of Breaking News, Cover Flow Style Headlines]

The CNN App for iPhone and the iPod Touch is now available on the iTunes store. So this means now news junkies  (present company included) can access the latest headlines, breaking news and be aware of all the shenanigans happening in the world at a touch of a button.  With this new application CNN hopes to cash in the growing news market, which according to Nielsen is a 55 million-user market.

CNN’s iPhone app hopes to be game changing as it makes use of the 3.0 SDK features and hence has been able to integrate a huge library of video clips. Not only this, but the application also supports live stream during breaking news making it a notch higher than the regular CNN Mobile service. The CNN App will also let the user access location-based news, weather and traffic.

The CNN App also makes use of the uber cool Coverflow technology as one will also be able to swipe through the latest headlines and feel like the coolest news junkie on the block!  Interestingly CNN may soon also launch a similar application for the Android and BlackBerry platform

Those who like their news early and fast can now download the CNN App from the Apple iTunes Store. The app will set you just $1.99 back which is quite a small price to pay don’t you think? For more information you can also head over to the CNN site where they have listed all the features.
