Coming soon…CNN’s new App for Windows Phones
Today at CES, CNN announced the launch of the CNN App for Windows Phone, which will be available in the coming month.
The CNN App for Windows Phones will provide the latest news and video from CNN’s reporting around the globe. Offering a robust user experience, the CNN App takes full advantage of Windows Phone 7 features to offer a vivid, panoramic interface, the ability to pin sections of the app to a home screen, Live Tile for real-time news updates, and direct access to iReport, CNN’s participatory news community. For the first time on an app, users will have the ability to submit an iReport while simultaneously capturing the event. Launching globally for free in the next month, the CNN App will be exclusive to Nokia users for 90 days and then available on all Windows Phone devices as they come to market.
“The CNN App will offer Windows Phone users a customizable CNN experience shaped for their environment,” said Louis Gump, vice president of CNN Mobile. “The Windows platform and Nokia phones will enable millions of people to plug in using the CNN app and interact with the world – where, when and how they want.”
