"As you may have heard by now, we launched the CNN App for the iPhone and iPod touch last night. We've had this app cooking for a while, so we are extremely excited to unveil it. Now available for download for a one-time fee of $1.99 on the App Store, the CNN App is designed to provide a visually-driven news experience for iPhone and iPod touch users who demand accessibility and convenience."

Favorable reviews on this app, which is $1.99 USD and available now in the iTunes store. But be warned you do get ads even though you paid for the app. According to the CNN press release, "We're charging a one-time fee of $1.99 for the CNN App on the iPhone and iPod touch, and the App also has ads in it. We did this for two reasons: 1. To deliver on a premium experience with unique features and functionality never before available from CNN on a mobile device; and 2. to ensure we were positioned to continue building new, improved mobile products to offer consumers." 

If I pay for an application I don't want ads, even though the ones I've seen on the app are fairly unobtrusive. If you want to learn more about it, check out the CNN iPhone site.

I swear to you if you haven't said there were ads I wouldn't even know. They're very unobtrusive. The app itself is fantastic, though. Definitely the best news app out right now.

Meh. Considering that most other news apps are free and that I don't want ads in something I've paid for I'm passing. USA Today's app is pretty nice and it's free. I'll continue to use CNN's iPhone mobile web site.
