Comic-Con International Offers Free iPhone App

As announced through their official Twitter account, Comic-Con International has released a free iPhone app. As /Film explains:

It basically provides all the information you would normally find in the official Comic-Con International program book, including maps of the halls and exhibit floor, program schedules, and a news feed without having to lug around that heavy program. Plus the programing line-up and exhibitor listing is easily searchable, and the maps are multi-touch zoomable (of course).

The application is available on iTunes.

In addition, iGoogle will be sponsoring free WiFi for SDCC.
