4 Main Methods of Receiving Latest News on iPhone

With its WiFi & 3G connection, iPhone is an impressive gadget to keep up with all the latest news and breaking news, and here are the top 4 ways to receive the latest information.
1) Sky News App
The Sky News app brings breaking news to your iPhone, using a sleek and attractive interface. Categories run along the top of the interface and are changed between with a single touch, and news articles in each category appear with thumbnails in the interface, it's a well-functioning Interface.
Sky does an excellent video presentation and for most visitors there is an accompanying video news report from the Sky News Room. There is also a real time feed of the Sky News Channel available by selecting the Live TV icon at the bottom of the interface.
Chat Forums and Social Media Tools are also provided to share your options on articles. With Sky you know what you're getting, the latest well presented news, brilliant videos and streaming access to live news TV stations
2) BBC News App
The BBC is one of the longest-established and well-known news providers and is relied on to provide the latest headlines from around the world thanks to their worldwide team of reporters. They also have an agenda to develop the technology and use it very well (eg their great iPlayer service), so it's no surprise to see that they have their own iPhone app. The BBC News app presents news in a more Magazine-formatted interface than the Sky News App, with topics presented vertically at the bottom of the screen with articles on each topic running horizontally on a scrolling timeline. The interface tends to be a little more fiddly and clunky to use the Sky Interface but the details in the article are the same as Sky, and sometimes offer a different tilt or edge to the news.
While the BBC News App may lack a bit of the glossy look of the Sky News App, it is a significant source of news, and compliments the Sky App very well.
3) Telegraph Mobile App
The Telegraph is a well-known News Paper in the UK, and they were one of the first UK News Papers to provide an electronic service for mobile readers.
Offering very in-depth articles (like the style you would read in a written news paper) The Telegraph app provides good reading for those times when you have little time to absorb the news.
Minimal App Interface with the top topic and few articles in each Category running from the top and bottom of the screen, and you can view more stories in each category by selecting the category name. Telegraph is no match for the BBC or Sky Apps for visual design although it provides a nice photo scroll function where you can view a collection of brilliant photos from the telegraph archive, useful facilities for sharing articles using social media are also provided.
The Telegraph App provides a good choice for those who want to read the news, and an updated version of the App is coming soon.
4) TV Catchup Site
The TV Catchup site lets you watch live TV on your iPhone, and provides a great alternative for those who want to watch instead of reading the news or for those who don't want to install apps on their handsets.
By signing up for the TV Catchup Site, you get free access to a number of live TV channels including BBC News, Sky News & BBC Parliament, providing the perfect way to see the latest news as it happens. Video quality tends to be slightly lower than dedicated apps, but may require a reduced amount of bandwidth as it works well over 3G networks.
In conclusion using any or all of the above facilities will bring you the latest latest news and opinions straight to your phone
