The free news streaming application developed by Sun Media and Five Mobile for Apple's iPhone has seen rich success thus far. Launched in December 2009, the application is now one of the Top 5 most downloaded applications in Canada. Simple to configure, it brings users exclusive news from Sun Media's network, including Toronto Sun, Ottawa Sun, Winnipeg Sun, Calgary Sun, Edmonton Sun and London Free Press.

With this application, readers receive personalized news on their iPhones in real time. From monitoring stock prices to viewing various photo galleries, readers can choose the news that interests them. The application is always available for download via the App Store or from any Sun Media newspaper website.

"This new application allows us to provide relevant content to our readers anywhere, anytime. It's been designed with the end-user in mind, making it the most user friendly and customizable app out there. With our customer-based approach, the application quickly became a favorite, standing out from the competition, says Francis Beaulieu, Director of Mobile and User Identity Products. The application was developed in collaboration with Five Mobile Inc., its expertise has largely contributed to the success of the application."

Ameet Shah, VP, Sales & Business Development, Co-Founder of Five Mobile Inc., says "working closely with Sun Media, a leader of Canadian information and content, has enabled us to develop a simple, effective and exclusive application that attracts people eager for up- to-the-minute news."
