Freelancer Productions and 9&10 News have launched a software development service designed to help local media outlets make their content accessible to iPhone and iPod Touch users.

The new service, aimed at television stations, radio stations, and newspapers, makes it easy for any media outlet to launch their own, highly interactive iPhone app.

“It’s clear that there’s a huge demand for custom iPhone applications,” said Eric Wotila, President of Freelancer Productions, “And I believe we now offer the most powerful platform in the industry.”

News on iPhone allows users of Apple’s popular mobile device to easily access local content (including text, photos and video) while on the go. Users have the ability to share articles via email, Twitter, or Facebook. Users can also submit text, photos and video through the app.

The News on iPhone platform utilizes RSS, a common technology supported by most newer web sites, to make content from a media outlet’s web site easily accessible on the iPhone. Applications are customized to prominently feature the media outlet’s own branding.
