Colorado (AP) - If that byline/dateline means anything to you, then this week’s web app is meant for you.  The Associated Press has designed a very sleek and sexy (for news that is) front end for their news site.  If you are into the news, then the Associated Press site will serve you well.

This is another great nod from a major entity out there that the iPhone is real, that it deserves special attention, and it is a great tool for accessing information. With the imminent release of the 3G phone, and expected 10 million of them being sold, I suspect that we will be seeing more and more iPhone specific portals and front ends.

If you are interested in the AP iPhone portal, then point your browser to http://www.apnews.com/.  The first thing you will notice is that the site is well designed and that it takes advantage of the iPhone screen. You will also notice just how snappy the portal loads. I have read the NY times on the iPhone as well as my local newspaper; they just don’t load this fast.

Now, to be fair, this portal will only present information from AP news sources.  But, for the major events and stories, that will be all you need.  So, if you want to know what is going on out there in the real world.  Head over to the AP iPhone portal and check it out.
