News icon Working with News

Clicking on the News button activates the News window.

Select the news items you're interested in and the region you wish to get news from. The selected news headlines are downloaded from news.google.com and transferred to your iPod as Contact or Note entries (one for each news item).

Selecting Include Articles will cause iPDA to visit the actual news sites and download the text from the articles. When reading the news headlines on your iPod there will be links to the full articles (of those that could be downloaded and processed successfully). Note that downloading all articles for all of the news headlines can take some time; iPDA is downloading and processing approximately 6 articles per news item. On average (with a broadband connection) it can take between 3 and 5 minutes to process all of the news.
