CNN App optimized for newest Nokia device

CNN is optimizing the CNN App for Windows Phone 8 for Nokia’s new Lumia 1020 device.  Building on CNN’s robust selection of news stories, images and video; panoramic interface and direct access to iReport through the app, CNN has added a number of features that take advantage of the Nokia Imaging SDK.

Now, while in iReport mode, a user can upload multiple photos at once and edit them by cropping or adjusting light levels.  An iReport live tile can also be pinned directly to a user’s homescreen to allow for easier access to iReport.

“The CNN App for Windows Phone 8 continues to give consumers a great news and information experience,” said Craig Kirkland, sr. director of product strategy.  “Through CNN’s app, iReporters can now share even higher quality photos and videos by using the camera on Nokia’s newest device.”
