CNN International has re-launched its
WAP service. Developed in conjunction with Ericsson, the revamped CNN
Browsable News service offers in excess of 120 stories per day,
including a 2-minute World News Now global news update on demand,
updated every hour. It also offers blogs from the field from CNNs
international correspondents, 5-day weather forecasts for 1,000 cities
around the world, air travel delay news, ski reports, and free
Breaking News SMS alerts. Users can also search an archive from the
last 14 days, containing over 2,000 stories.
The service iz built
around eight editorial sections, including: Top Stories, World News,
Business, Weather, Sport, Entertainment & Lifestyle, Science &
Tech, and iReport, where users can provide stories, pictures and videos
direct from their handset. Navigation is colour-coded to differentiate
news environments, and there are multiple images to support and enhance
each story.
CNN says the service has been created to be
multi-device compliant, with 2.5G and 3G phones, Smartphones and
Blackberry handsets. It is targeted at users in Europe, the Middle
East, Africa and Latin America
