CNN Does iPhone Right

Written By: Sol Young on January 29, 2009 4 Comments

CNN just released their iPhone optimized m.cnn.com, and it’s great! Not only is it iPhone web app friendly, with easy navigation and svelt transitions, it also makes audio and video available in friendly formats.

I was impressed to click a video headline and have QuickTime immediately launch and stream the video. Very clean implementation.

I can only access this website when Im in 3G network. If I try to connect via Wlan, it sends me automatically to cnnmobile.com….

Anybody noticed this? How can I solve it?

Plz help.

Must be analyzing the IP in addition to the user-agent. They do this
to prevent people from getting the audio and video for free (without
commercials).
