During this year’s Macworld, a startup called PimpMyNews.com launched a “talking” news application for the iPhone and the iPod Touch users.
The Web-based application, accessible through the Safari browser, searches the Internet for the latest news and converts text-based stories to audio, enabling users to get their daily dose of information while on-the-go.
At the moment, PimpMyNews features more than 200,000 talking stories across 59 categories, and more than 4,000 stories are added each day. Users can even create their own “personalized talking newspaper” by selecting categories and news sources. In addition, audio files can be shared with others and posted on popular social networking sites, including Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, and Reddit.
