Astraware Fireworks is a simple FREE application,  showing sequences of fireworks flying and exploding into the air. As 4th July  is traditionally a time for fireworks and celebrations in the USA, the features  have been created to help our American friends highlight one of their major  holidays - Independence Day! Astraware Fireworks features a selection of  patriotic backgrounds including the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore and the  Stars and Stripes, and offers a choice of stirring tunes including the Star  Spangled Banner and Stars and Stripes Forever!

    Astraware Fireworks is available for devices  running Palm OS® 5 and later and Windows Mobile® 2003 and later, and this year  a new BlackBerry® version is available which includes the backgrounds and  firework effects but doesn't include music, so sorry BlackBerry-owners - this  time round you'll have to hum your own marches!

    What better way to celebrate 4th July than with  some Fireworks? Download your copy today - it's available for a limited time  only! Oh, and did we mention, it's FREE?!

Slight mod and it could be for bonfire night?

New years?

The list goes on.

Doesn't make it NEWs though, it's old, they're just PR'ing it again...

Well, it's only old if you've seen it before

My thoughts exactly! Harsh

Credit to WTFH for trying to help with news IMHO!

Well it just kinda reminds me of when the Government 'announces' a '£50bn investment in hospitals' or whatever and it's the same old stuff cobbled together that was already pledged just so they can announce something....

Slow news day perhaps? Or just Astraware wanting more email registrations for their database?...
