Associated Press has launched its Mobile News Network, a multimedia news portal designed for use on mobile devices back in May. Now, they’ve launched a client application optimized for BlackBerry smart phones, available for download over at bb.apnews.com.

Mobile News Network is a big deal when it comes to mobile news. According to AP, the portal has received over 16 million page views in August 2008; over one million local news stories were read. In the following month, these numbers climbed to 26 million page views, with 1.5 million local stories read.

Mobile News Network application works on BlackBerry Curve, Pearl, and even the new Bold and Flip. It’s no wonder that BlackBerry, the favorite device of your typical business user, was the first device after the iPhone to receive a customized application version of the mobile news portal. iPhone users can find their MNN app in the App Store, while everyone else interested should simply point their mobile web browser to www.apnews.com.
