Al Jazeera Launches Windows Phone 8 App

Middle Eastern media network Al Jazeera has launched a Windows Phone 8 app.

The app is available in both English and Arabic, featuring news from Al Jazeeras websites along with 24-hour live video content. Users can also customise what news they see through the My Topics feature, which filters by the people, places, organisations or topics they choose to follow.

“We are delighted that Al Jazeera’s multi-award winning news and current affairs coverage is now available on Windows Phone 8 devices,” said Moeed Ahmed, Head of New Media at Al Jazeera Media Network. “The launch of the Windows Phone 8 apps comes after our successful BlackBerry 10 and Android tablet launch. This announcement reemphasises our commitment to ensuring that people can consume our content whenever and wherever they want – whether it is on a tablet, mobile device, PC or connected TV.”
