Using the T-Mobile G2x to Access the Local News

By Gareth Jale


Major news organizations understand that an increasing number of people prefer to read their news online. Many consumers don't even get their local newspaper anymore. Why pay for the paper when you can access your local news on your computer for free? Now that smart phones, like the T-Mobile G2x, are so popular, many users are also choosing to access their local news from their phone. Nothing is more convenient than being able to read the local happenings whenever you have a few extra minutes, regardless of where you are. Fortunately, these apps make it easy for users to get their local news on the go.

One application that makes it easy to access local news is Pulse. Alphonso Labs created the Pulse application to allow users to access all of their favorite news sources from one application. Users can customize Pulse to show the latest news from 60 different news sources. Users may even customize the application so that it shows news articles that fit into certain categories. If you find an article that you find particularly interesting, you can share it on Facebook and Twitter.

Many big news organizations offer their own applications that users can download for free. USA Today offers an easy-to-use application that has an extremely clean interface. The Associated Press has an app, called AP Mobile, which is also easy to use and completely customizable. You may also choose from the MSNBC.com app, CBS News app, the CNN News app, the FOX News app, the NY Times app, and many more options. If you want local celebrity gossip, check out E! Online's application. The NPR News app is another interesting choice, especially if you prefer to listen to the news. This app offers audio recordings of many of their articles.

Many local news organizations also offer texting services. Fans of the news organization may sign up to get convenient texts whenever a big story breaks. People can also sign up to only receive texts related to certain subjects. A person may choose to get a text regarding news stories, stock quotes, the local weather, local schools, sports scores, and/or classifieds. While these texts may not include the whole, detailed story, they are a great way to stay up-to-date until you can sit down and get the details.

These applications will help you access any newsworthy information directly from your mobile device. When using your phone so much, you may also want to consider equipping your G2x with certain accessories, including a screen protector and case. Accessories help us take care of our smart phones so that we may better enjoy everything that they have to offer.
