ABC.es launches Google Android application
Posted by Soraya Kishtwari on May 25, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Spanish daily ABC.es has become the country's first media network to
launch an application compatible with Google's Android phone. Recently
unveiled in Spain through mobile operators Telefónica and Vodafone,
Android is aiming to be seen as a cost-effective alternative to Apple's
iPhone.
Available since 13 May, users are able to access either the national or Sevilla edition of the site, consult the latest news stories and consult the markets index, as well as a variety of opinion pages and other features currently offered on the ABC.es site.
Interestingly, ABC was also first off the mark in Spain to create a web version of its site for the iPhone. Others soon followed.
USA Today recently launched an Android application of its own. So far, however, few newspapers have rushed to create suitable applications in the same way they did for the iPhone.
