From CNN comes a mobile application that allows users to read the top stories from around the world, at any time. For the Xperia X1, it comes in the form of a panel with customizable options. Users can select two categories to receive news from, as well as select their home town, or any town of their choice to get a five day weather forecast. Additionally, the news can be viewed on the handset through email, by emailing and adding ireport@cnn.com.

Currently the app is available for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Russia and the Asia-Pacific, but not Japan. Hopefully the app will become compatible for Japan, US, Australia and other countries soon.
