All the latest print news from CNN.com for the last 24 hours without a delay or annoying advertisements.
This app displays the absolute latest news directly from the CNN web site which is usually about one hour ahead of the news published to the CNN mobile news app or from the CNN RSS News feed.
This iCNN 24 Hours iPhone application is a custom web browser designed to list and display the all of the iPhone/iTouch compatible stories published on the CNN.com web site in the last 24 hours.
It displays the title, summary, and time stamp of the stories in a scrollable list that iPhone and iTouch users prefer. The iCNN Reader saves the story list and your position on the list when you select a story to read. This saves you all the time that a regular browser would take as it reloaded the starting page and allows you to read the stories as quickly as possible. In our tests, once you have read two or more stories you have saved time over other browsers.
Both the story list and the story viewer can be used in landscape mode.
The story viewer features a "Share Story" button so that you can email a friend or friend(s) a link to the story without leaving the iCNN reader.
The story list features a "Refresh" button so that you can reload the list and update the time stamps on the stories.
Please remember the iCNN Reader story list is the equivalent of six to eight web pages worth of stories from CNN so it does take a few seconds to load initially. After that, because the list is retained, you can reload and scroll the list extremely quickly. When you choose a story to read it should load at the same speed or faster than any other web browser.
The videos from the CNN.com web site are in a format (Flash) that is not currently supported by the iPhone/iTouch so the iCNN 24 Hours Newsreader app does it's best not to include useless links to videos in it's story list.
How it Works: CNN.com maintains a list of every story that has been published in the last 24 hours. The list is kept in order of when the story was last updated and not in the order of what someone else might think is importance. Reviewer HAMSmoke noticed a story listed as a headline on cnn.com on 10/15/09 that did not appear in this app. We researched why that occured and it appears that the story was actually first published on CNN.com on 10/9/09 and was only moved to a headline position and not updated on 10/15/09. As a result it was not included in our listings. If our app had been available on 10/9/09 then you would have been able to read the story on 10/9/09 no matter where it had been buried on the CNN.com site six days earlier.
