Agence France-Presse announced today the launch of its iPhone application "AFP Mobile" on the Apple App Store. The application for iPhone and iPod Touch enables users to read the latest news from all over the world, delivered with accuracy, speed and in-depth by AFP's worldwide network of journalists. It gives access to the global news agency's multimedia content in English, Spanish, Portuguese and German, including breaking world news from wars and conflicts to politics, sport and entertainment, as well as the latest major developments in health, science and technology.

The application can also be adapted for AFP's clients to integrate their own content and distributed under their brand, for example La Depeche du Midi, an AFP client in France, have already done this and released their iPhone application January 5th.

"Mobile is a key development for media companies. We believe that it is our mission to offer our clients mobile-ready content and technological solutions, so they can expand their visibility and reach new audiences", says Erik Monjalous, AFP Group Sales and Marketing Director.
