The Associated Press has launched its own Mobile News Network, a Web-based applications specifically designed to bring news and information from the AP’s collection of over 100 new organizations to mobile phone users everywhere. But the AP especially wants iPhone users: they’ve optimized the service for the iPhone, and are very proud to have the service selected as a “Staff Pick” in Apple’s iPhone Web applications directory.
“With a new generation of mobile devices on the market, like the iPhone, the time is right for AP to introduce a product that brings together our members’ local news brands with AP’s unrivaled coverage of international and national events,” said AP’s senior VP of global product development Jane Seagrave, in a statement.
