Associated Press News App

[Guest Koofteh]

I came across a review of the Associated Press news app for Windows Mobile and thought I'd give it a try, but it's apparently only available through the Marketplace.

I installed Marketplace specifically to download the AP program, and it's nowhere to be found. Either I'm blind or it's not available to Canada for some odd reason. So I was wondering if anyone who can see it in the Marketplace can share it with us? It's supposed to be under categories > news and weather > news.

Gah, I'm so frustrated... leave it to Microsoft to attempt one thing and do the exact opposite. If the Marketplace wasn't around this AP app would probably be floating around as a CAB like everything else... and I thought Marketplace was going to make it easier to find programs. :)

i reckon its the localisation issue that Marketplace is facing. not every app is available in every country. i guess its probably available for the endusers in the US. we get s*** programs in Australia.

And . . . you get AP's crappy slant on the news. :)

Hmm, I assumed it was because of my location. I just figured someone in the US or wherever it works who is using the cracked Marketplace could share the CAB with us here.

Uh, it's Associated Press not Fox News. What, just because AP is American it must be crappy? If Reuters had an app I might look into it, but in case you haven't noticed the app selection on WM is rather... spartan.
