CNN Releases Android App Made Specifically For Honeycomb Tablets

Posted by in Applications, News

If you remember, during Google's Honeycomb showcase in the beginning of the month, one of the tablet-optimized apps demoed was made by CNN. Considering CNN is one of the Honeycomb/XOOM launch partners, the new app showed up in the Market like clockwork for an easily digestible price of free. For those who need a refresher, here's the video from the presentation again:

The CNN app features a swipable navigation bar on the left-hand side and a grid story layout on the right side. For video junkies, live video broadcasts as well as pre-recorded video segments are provided. Vocal activists among you will find the ability to leave comments satisfying. Widget lovers will enjoy the ability to install a live widget onto their homescreens. The widget utilizes a new flipbook method of information presentation currently available exclusively in the Honeycomb version of the OS.

CNN also highlighted a feature previously unavailable on a tablet device (read: iPad) - access to CNN's iReport community-generated content, including uploading of video and pictures for iReporters.

    In the beginning, there was iPad...
    A year later, Motorola copied them.
    Motorola also copied Apple's infamous "1984" commercial.
    3 weeks later, iPad 2 is released and Xoom is forgotten.

    I loaded the CNN for my Xoom tablet fine but the video does not work. Only the sound plays. Wondering if this is a problem with the software or what.
