Must have iPhone App for any one in CoMo

Though I haven’t mentioned it on this blog (because it has been mentioned everywhere else) the new iPhone is out.  But the old iPhone has been upgraded, making it almost as great as the new iPhone.  So all Columbia, Missouri iPhone users, new and old, download iCoMo News.  This is a really great little app, very basic, but very useful.  This App was the brainchild of Courtney Schroeder, Misty Anderson, and Alex Tribou as a capstone project for the Journalism School at Mizzou.  iCoMo converges three major news media outlets into one easy, straightforward, consolidated application. The Application loads with the current Doppler Radar images from KOMU (NBC), the latest headlines from the Columbia Missouri, and news podcast from KBIA.

While iCoMo News is great program, I wish it would pull more information into itself.  Right now all the links actually opens the iPhone web browser and loads the actual standard website.  It would be nice if the RSS feeds would load directly in the application.  By opening the news stories in the browser it prevents me from going back and reading other news stories or checking other media outlets. While a major inconvenience, iCoMo still makes it very easy to stay up to date with the latest CoMo news.
