It's always great to bump into Fierce readers at trade shows and the occasional non-work-related event. Recently, I've fielded a common question from many of you: "When will Fierce have an iPhone app?"

I felt a bit like a CMS policy wonk whenever I delivered the familiar refrain, "Er, it'll be out soon."

Well, to borrow a phrase from one of my college-era heroes, "soon is now." FierceMarkets recently released a series of mobile applications that will enable you to catch up on the news right from the comfort of your BlackBerry, iPhone, Android or Windows Mobile phone.  

These apps were specifically designed with our readers in mind; we wanted to provide you with a simple, portable way to catch up on news that's important. That's why these handy apps give you carte blanche access to content across all of FierceMarkets' verticals, including enterprise IT, telecom, life sciences, finance, healthcare...even our expansive jobs listings.

And it wouldn't be a mobile app if it didn't allow you to easily email or share the articles on Facebook or Twitter, so feel free to tweet Fiercely! You can even save articles to read later (as our FierceHealthIT Facebook followers learned last week).

We hope you'll try these apps out (you can download them here). And by all means, please share your feedback with us-we truly appreciate it.  Oh, and if you're a former (or current Smiths) fan and caught the song reference above, you get a quick smile, a circa 1980s tune stuck in your head, and gold star. - Wendy
