Associated Press launches iPhone-optimized site
Earlier today, the Associated Press launched an iPhone-optimized news site that really is pleasant to use. To check it out on your iPhone simply visit http://apnews.com. Once there you'll find AP articles, of course, but also local events (in fact, you can enter several zip codes and follow events from several locations) and more from many different outlets.The preference pane looks like that of a native iPhone application (Save the orange sliders instead of blue) and the photos and videos render pretty quickly, even over EDGE. Plus, they've got a cute web clip icon. What more do you need?
It's nice to see the AP catering to mobile users. We say, "Well done."

When will we see an iPhone optimized TUAW? Or is there one already, that I'm not seeing? TUAW's home page is so cluttered with stuff that I don't use and it is slow loading on the iPhone.
yes! any one else get crashed safari when loading TUAW?
TUAW, I love you, but we need to communicate more easily...I'll do what I can, what will you do?
AP site is calling me and I can't say no.
Let's just hope they don't end up forcing you to use it, like MSNBC now does. I just loooove being redirected to their WAPerific craptastic mobile page, with no way to get to the normal MSNBC page.
