While some of us try to avoid mainstream media and the accompanying Things You Should Be Afraid Of Today reporting, sometimes we need a place to go for 24/7 coverage of a disabled cruise ship, and [CNN](http://www.engadget.com/tag/cnn/) is always there. Now it's there on Android too, after [launching live streaming of both CNN and HLN on iOS](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/18/cnn-starts-streaming-24-hours-of-news-online-and-on-your-iphon/) back in 2011 a new update for its Android phone app has brought the feature (and the classic "This is CNN" greeting by James Earl Jones) to the platform. You'll still need to be a subscriber to a participating cable TV service to actually watch the feed, but getting your dose of Anderson Cooper on the go is as simple as inputting your account details, and then you're set. Feature parity -- who doesn't love it? (Android tablet owners, Windows 8 users, Symbian...)
