Having a Apple Developers account has it’s perks and the latest from Apple certainly is a nice view into some of the new bells and whistles that will be available this summer.

Another shot of the local page within AP Mobile News App. Overall I would say that the layout of this app overall is certainly an eye sore to the end user. 
I can definitely see this being of value to a professional looking for the latest news. It’ll be interesting how New York Times, WSJ, and others will utilize this new feature.
