Cnn app for windows phone 7

A vibrant app store has become a major selling point to smartphone customers. In the past, Nokia, which sells the highest volume of mobile phones worldwide, has made efforts to work with some creators of apps for its platforms. A Nokia spokeswoman said the company offers app developers a variety of incentives, some in partnership with Microsoft, which include coding assistance and marketing.

Microsoft declined to comment for this story. The premiere phone, which is codenamed Sea Ray and currently being field tested by company executives, will be Nokia's first to run Windows Phone 7, the year-old mobile operating system from Microsoft. Nokia is expected to release the phone in the next few months, say two executives who are familiar with the plans but not authorized to speak publicly.

On Tuesday, Microsoft began distributing the new version of Windows Phone, which will run on the Nokia device. Last year, Microsoft made similar offers to developers that make apps trendy on other platforms. Some companies took the cash, but others declined because they feared wasting time working on a platform that would prove unpopular and then having to maintain it. The people involved in the Nokia negotiations expressed similar concerns. One veteran app developer, Ken Sun, said that when he was working at eBay, Microsoft offered his team money to fund the development of a Windows Phone app.

Sun, who is now a product manager for Mint financial software, declined to comment on current talks with Microsoft. Developers that turned down earlier offers from Microsoft and are fielding new deals from Nokia should be able to "double dip," or collect payments from both companies, Sun said. Todd Moore, who makes a sleep-companion app called White Noise, received a free Windows Phone device from Microsoft last year in exchange for building his app for the platform.

What's missing from the CNN App for Windows 8 is more detailed information like weather and traffic reports. Sure, there are other apps that can do this but it'd be nice to have all this information within one app.
