BSkyB launches video news app for iPhone [iPhone Application Watch]
Following the launch of Sky+ Remote Control for the iPhone earlier this month, Sky News has announced a free news application is now available to download from the iTunes app store.
The new app delivers breaking news by text, images and video and features seven different categories for users to choose from: top stories, UK news, sport, business, world news, showbiz and skynews.com's popular 'strange news' category.
Users can sign up to receive breaking news via SMS text alerts.
Interestingly, the app can also be used to allow users to send in their own stories and pictures to Sky's news centre.
Executive producer, New Media for Sky News, James Weeks, said, "We are delighted that the video capabilities of this app for iPhone and iPod touch bring yet another first to Sky News viewers. We have spent a long time developing this app to make sure that it delivers first class breaking news in the way that Sky News viewers and web users have come to expect. We are also looking forward to receiving news and pictures from iPhone users, further enhancing our reputation for being first for breaking news, wherever you are."
