CNN Launches International iPhone App

CNN, which released a slick paid iPhone application last year, is taking the product international… and making it free. The news organization is releasing an international version of the CNN App for users that live outside of the United States.

Unlike the domestic version, which costs $1.99 and has advertising, the international app will be free and ad supported.

It will also take advantage of the recently launched iOS4 platform, with push notifications and enhanced personalization abilities.

Making the app free is a peculiar decision for CNN, considering it was so strongly defending the decision to charge for its U.S.
