The New York Times ‘Election 2012′ App Comes to Android
NEW YORK, Feb 28, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
The New York Times today announced the launch of its Election 2012 app
for Android, an essential destination and comprehensive resource for
those following the 2012 presidential campaign. The app is available now
on Google’s Android Market.
The launch of the Android app follows the introduction of The Times’s
Election 2012 app for iPhone, which hit the iTunes Store in December.
Like the iPhone app, the Android app combines The Times’s extensive
political coverage with top campaign news from around the Web,
hand-picked exclusively for the app by a Times editor.
“Now political junkies can take advantage of our one-stop shop for
campaign news and analysis no matter what smartphone they use,” said
Fiona Spruill, editor, emerging platforms, The New York Times. “With the
new Election 2012 Android app, we’re now offering live election results
and maps across five different mobile apps and our mobile Web site. It’s
another example of how we’re extending our tradition of digital
innovation to the mobile world.”
Both the Android and iPhone apps now offer new features since the
initial launch of the iPhone app in December, including:
–
Live results on primary and election nights
–
County-by-county maps for every primary and caucus
–
Voting projections from Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight blog
–
A delegate tracker for the Republican nomination

New york times app is cool.
Been using it for sometime now along with election caster.
