Anniversary Contests – Win a Free Copy of BNO News for iPhone
5 Free Promo Codes for BNO News To Be Won
Contest Deadline: Wednesday September 9, 1:00pm US Central
We have a saying here on the site that goes like this: ‘If Frank Catalano asks, we deliver ‘. Well no we don ‘t really “ but it sounded cool, and Frank did ask recently if we could get a contest going for the excellent BNO News app “ so here you go.
BNO News delivers world news headlines faster than any other iPhone app I ‘ve seen, sends them to you as push notifications, and lets you choose whether to have a ‘Sleep Time ‘ period where it will temporarily ignore notifications. It ‘s been a stalwart for me in delivering up-to-the-minute news to my iPhone.
Read on for the very simple rules on how to enter for a chance to win
How To Win:
*** Just add a comment to this post, making sure to fill out the ‘email address ‘ field(don ‘t worry, it won ‘t be displayed and we won ‘t use it for any other reason than to contact you if you win) “ and you ‘re in with an entry for our random drawing of winners on Wednesday. ***
That ‘s it! We ‘ll draw our five winners on Wednesday (9/9/09) sometime after 1:00 pm US Central time.
*** Please Note: The promo codes are only available for the US App Store, so you will need a US-based account to make use of them “ keep this in mind when entering the contest.
Yes!!! You are AWESOME Patrick. I have been waiting for this contest
Best iPhone Blog out there!
…Finally got a "suitable node" so this page would load (whatever that means).
Have they started charging for this service yet? I heard it was going to require a subscription. Also, is there a way to customize the types of news you would like to receive like sports, entertainment, iPhone, etc.?
It's over folks – Frank wins all 5 codes for that last line. Joke!
Thanks for the very kind words Frank.
In my experience, whenever you see the 'suitable nodes' wording, it means that something in Rackspace's data center is quite unsuitably shagged / knackered / buggered / not functioning optimally. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience and hassle with that. Sadly, it seems to have become a once a week event these last few weeks. Always on a Monday or Tuesday. I'm hoping they will get that figured out and squashed very soon. It is not a site (as in our site) issue at all.
As for your questions: they have not started charging for anything as yet. I'm not sure when or if they will. There is not a way to filter the sort of news, or alerts, that you want to receive – at least that I'm aware of. Closest I've seen – which is not very close – is an ability to opt in (it's turned off by default) to getting low priority alerts.
i want it
Very nice!
What can we do to have something you want us to have? We give you what u want
I'm sorry – I don't really understand that question, or even know if it is meant as a question.

Whoa! Nice pick for a contest! As an admitted Twitter addict, I adore BNO for their scoops. The BNO iPhone app, with push, is full of WANT!

Hell Yes! I've been wanting this app, but hadn't pulled the trigger. Sweet!
I'll take it.
Anyone know what Theme that is in the photo? I want it!
Hi Serge – I replied to your email on this as well, but just in case: this is the Glasklart theme, with the Winterboard 'User Wallpaper' item turned on as well. The wallpaper being used is one I found in a nice free collection in Cydia. I think it's just called 'Mac Wallpapers' or something similar.
