The Newsy Android App is now available to download from the Android Market, offering users easy mobile access to Newsy.com’s multi-source news videos on Android-enabled devices. The free application has a simple, clear interface, and is easy to use – users can watch the latest Newsy.com multi-source news videos with just one touch. The App is updated instantaneously with the website, and allows users to browse videos with the interactive slideshow or search specifically with keywords.

By the way, if you’ve not tried out Newsy, I’d highly suggest giving it a go – a site that provides news analysis from multiple news sources is a really good idea I think. Comparing and contrasting how news is covered is something you don’t see often either.

“Since the release of our iPhone app last year, we recognize the mobile demand for quickly digestible video news,” said Jim Spencer, president of Newsy.com. “With the launch of the Newsy Android App, we’re now able to bring that superior experience to a much wider audience.”

The Newsy application also allows users to share videos via Twitter, Facebook and email as well as read and post comments – which are immediately synced with the website. It also features a ‘Sources’ button that enables easy access to the specific news stories analyzed in a Newsy video.

Newsy are also busy doing development on other mobile platforms – so expect to see some more news soon! Check out the Newsy website here, or head on over to Android Market on your Android device :-)

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
