Ok, we get it. Every media outlet wants to have its own iPhone app. Latest company to join the trend is Arabic TV news station – Al Jazeera. They’ve launched a dedicated application in English, “covering the world, bridging cultures and setting the news agenda.”
To use the app, all you have to do is press the button “Watch live now” at the bottom of the screen, and that’s about it. The streaming video will start with the latest news from The Middle East. They say both 3G and WiFi connection will work, though some people have complained video quality on 3G can’t come close to the one on WiFi. Guess, they haven’t tried it with the faster iPhone 3GS. 
Anyway, Al Jazeera English app costs 3 bucks ($2.99) and you can grab it from here. (iTunes link)
