BBC News iPhone app: screenshots from Cap’n Fuzzy!
Posted on 18. Feb, 2010 by JD in News, UK
The BBC News iPhone app was announced just this morning at Mobile World Congress, but we’ve snagged the first screenshots of what it will look like already. Read on to see them!
BBC internet supremo Erik Huggers revealed the BBC News iPhone app along with a Sports app at the Mobile Entertainment keynote here in Barcelona, but now we’ve got a closer look at what to expect from the former. The BBC News iPhone app will use carousels for categories of news (Top Stories, World, Business, for example), with a breaking news ticker at the top, along with options and a button to stream BBC News live.
News posts themselves meanwhile mimic the desktop version perfectly, except this time, videos should run via the BBC News iPhone app. Landscape mode opens up more categories in a horizontal row, with leads appearing as you move across the headline/image tiles.
BBC News and Sport iPhone apps unveiled
The best part? The BBC News iPhone app will soon be moving on to tons of other platforms: we were shown a slide at the keynote that showed logos for Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Flash, Palm (webOS presumably), Samsung (bada, we assume) and BlackBerry, so no matter your phone, you’ll soon be covered.

Kindle krazy: the Kindle and Kindle iPhone app review
Posted on 17. Dec, 2009 by JD in blog
It may be the world’s last Kindle review, but I’ve lumped in a review of the
international (read: Australian) Kindle iPhone app, just to make it look
like I’m not asleep at the wheel here. (Hey – I’ve actually been reading
ebooks).
Verdict: Both are easy to use and together they’re a… ahem, killer
kombination.

Kindle iPhone app in Oz, one less reason to get Nooky
Posted on 15. Dec, 2009 by JD in News, blog, kindle
OK, so the attraction of Barnes and Noble’s dual screen Nook seems strong. I mean, Android, a colour touchscreen, web browsing and e-ink reading sounds like the business. I was keen, and I have a Kindle, which I’m really happy with (when I can prise it out of my wife’s hands). Yep, the Nook promised [...]
