Want instant access to al.com from your smart phone? There's an app for that. 

The website has released apps for Android, iPhone and iPod Touch. The app contains real-time local news, sports, entertainment, business, features and opinion articles and photos from The Birmingham News, The Huntsville Times and Press-Register.

"This will be a convenient way for Birmingham News readers to see our continuing coverage on their mobile phones whenever and wherever they choose," said Tom Scarritt, editor of The News. "This marks another step forward in our evolution as a multimedia source for up-to-the-minute news and information."

The free apps are available for download at the iTunes App Store and the Android Market. Users can also share content via Twitter, e-mail and Facebook posts directly from the app, and they can submit video and photos from their phones to al.com.

"With local breaking news available on al.com around the clock, an app makes it even easier for people to get updates wherever they happen to be," al.com CEO Cindy Martin said.
