The Software and Information Industry Association launched its first mobile applications, designed to meet the news and information needs of members of the content industry. The application, called Content Industry Content, allows executives and leaders in the field to quickly review information from numerous sources, including blogs, reviews, newsfeeds, social video sites, and Twitter.

The application, which is available through a free public trial, was developed in collaboration with and powered by technology from content partner Newstex. It is currently available only for the iPhone, but an Android-compatible version is planned for the near future.
