NPR has just released their iPhone optimized portal which can be viewed by visiting m.npr.org on your iPhone or iPod touch.
A project between NPR and certain NPR member stations to bring content from both NPR and NPR member stations to iPhone users. The webapp gives you the option to hear audio podcasts like the NPR Hourly News and your local NPR Radio station news. You can set your local STA to personalize your experience on the NPR iPhone site.
Additionally you can browse all news stories by category including local news, most SMSed stories, story of the day, song of the day, Politics, Business, Health and Science, Movies, Music, Books, Interviews and Commentary. You can also take the entertaining Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me! Quiz, and also have the ability to search for stories.
Lastly, note that you can listen to almost any story as well as read its full text with your iPhone.
Overall this makes the NPR iPhone webapp one of the most powerful news resources available to iPhone users today.Try with TestiPhone
