CNN in iTunes
CNN news. I like this app. With it, I do not have to sit with the television for a full news hour to pick up the important or interesting news. I can screen from a listing of many current stories to get just the news I want. Once I click on a story, I can get a print summary or a video. clip of the news story. The app can be set to send you "breaking news" so that you can get all the news before your friends. On the downside, this does take up a lot of data on your monthly plan. And it is sometimes too much of a good thing. I found myself annoyed by getting interrupted by quotes from political candidates too frequently. It can be easily reset to not "push" news to you until you are ready to check it. It provides 3 different views, with which to screen your stories. A slideshow view, a headline list view, and a thumbnail of headline with small photo. You can link through to watch CNNTV live. I have not yet done so.
