TV Nets Boost iPhone Presence

NEW YORK The broadcast networks are dialing up their collective presence on the iPhone.

On Thursday, ABC launched a free application for its hit Dancing With the Stars, which fans can use to vote each week for their favorite celebrity contestants. Besides the usual show highlights, photos and games, the app serves as a personal dance instructor for users, providing step-by-step instructions on dances like the mambo and tango.

ABC has not announced any sponsors for the free app.
