SIIA, Newstex Announce iPhone App for Digital Content Industry

The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA; www.siia.net), the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries, has launched its first mobile application in partnership with Newstex, LLC (www.newstex.com) for accessing social media content from SIIA and across the digital content industry. The application-dubbed "Content Industry Content"-is now available for iPhones and iPod touches from the Apple iTunes Store.

Ed Keating, vice president of the SIIA content division, says, "The new SIIA app, powered by Newstex, our Authoritative Content partner, drives multiple forms of content from multiple sources into one easy-to-use mobile resource. It's not just an RSS reader or a Twitter app or a video viewer. It's all those things and more."

The SIIA mobile application offers a free, public trial version for download. Members of the SIIA content division may request complimentary access to a limited number of licenses for a premium content package that contains a much deeper range of content. SIIA and Newstex will be making the application available on Android-based phones at a later date.
