On Tuesday, CNN announced the availability of its mobile news application for the Android platform. The app provides quick access to CNN’s main news stories and features — complete with a picture-driven user interface — and closely resembles the news organization’s current iOS offering. Other features include free access to CNN Radio, breaking news notifications, and the option to share live photos and videos with CNN — a feature CNN refers to as “iReporter.” We’ve installed the CNN application on our T-Mobile G2x, and enjoy the robust feature set it offers. We also dig the customizable widget that is bundled with the app. CNN for Android requires Android 2.1 or higher and is available in the Android Market now.

    I’m glad they finally got around to it… but Christian Science Monitor and Al-Jazeera are better news sources by far.

    Ugh…iReporter option…great, more crappy “reports” from people. When a news organization starts treating user crappy cell phone videos and tweets as actual reports, they’re no longer a “news” organization, they’re TMZ. CNN is as bad as ESPN and their infatuation with all things LeBron.

      baseball season started… so now their infatuation with baseball is replacing Lebron… no worries. SportsCenter will now have 59 minutes of baseball highlights for 3 games, and 1 minute of everything else.
