CNN has announced that its CNN App for Android’s is available for free on Android Market in the U.S. The CNN App launches in conjunction with the commercial availability of the Android 3.0, Honeycomb platform on the Motorola Xoom tablet, which is the first time that CNN iReport, the network’s user-generated news community, is available in a tablet application.
The app is designed for Android powered phones running on platforms 2.1 and above. Content includes both international and domestic news in text, audio, photos and live and on-demand video as well as a direct link to CNN iReport, the network's participatory news community and audio content from CNN Radio.
According to Louis Gump, vice president of Mobile at CNN, "Android users are extremely discerning, and will accept nothing less than a first-rate app that showcases high quality, world-class content - and enables them to share it," He further says, "We built the CNN App with these desires specifically in mind, and are excited to offer the millions of Android phone users around the world with access to CNN's global reporting."
Users have the ability to toggle between U.S. and International news preferences, both of which serve live video of breaking news and select events as they happen, as well as hourly audio news updates from CNN Radio while in the U.S. view.
The App includes the ability for users to comment alongside content on the screen or share text stories and images from the App via email, Facebook and Twitter. Users can also flip through story headlines and images directly on their home screen by accessing the App’s layered image widget.
