The simplest way to get the latest news is to load Safari and visit your favorite news websites. However, if you know what type of news you want, it's often easier to use a special app that retrieves the information that you want.
Many of the top news sites provide their own unique (and free) apps specially designed for retrieving and displaying news on an iPad. By using one of these free apps with an Internet connection through your iPad, you can read world, sports, and financial news, as shown in Figure 39-6.
If you want to know the local forecast, tap into the Weather Channel app. Not only can you see the forecast, but you can also view maps, track storms heading through your area, and watch videos of weather occurring in your area and other parts of the world, as shown in Figure 39-7.
If you invest in the stock market, you may be interested in tracking your stock portfolio and keeping up with the latest financial news. Naturally, this requires an Internet connection to retrieve the latest financial information, but this app provides a list of the latest financial news headlines along with a list of your stocks so you can see how they're doing throughout the day, as shown in Figure 39-8.
