Hourly News Summary should open a page, not play

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Hourly News Summary can't be added to a Playlist because it plays 
immediately when tapped, instead of opening a page like other stories that have 
Listen Now, Add to Playlist and Share. It would be nice if Hourly News Summary 
opened a similar page. It would also reduce the harm of accidentally tapping 
this button on the main screen, which results in losing a potentially long 
playlist if you do so accidentally.

Excellent. These are both Enhancements, not Defects, but I don't have the 
permissions to set them that way.

Did this ever get code reviewed?

The idea behind this code is fine, but we don't have any preferences defined 
yet, so it won't do much on its own.

I would like to see this in 2.0. tjack, are you interested in helping out with 
a user preferences activity?

!true.  It's !false!  :)

[You would need that preference setting to revert the behavior.]

Version 2.0 Hourly News Summary now opens as a new page.

However, it does not (yet) support adding the the playlist. This is complicated 
by the fact that hourly news changes, well, hourly. So if we add the hourly 
news podcast to the playlist there's a possibility that the new stories will be 
out of date by the time we get there which isn't the expected UX. To resolve 
that we just need to create a special case in the Playback Service so that it 
knows what Hourly News is and knows how to resolve it. To-date the player has 
never known about the API, so we're increasing coupling when we do this.

I actually think the expected behavior is, whatever was added to the playlist 
is what will play. So if I added it 2 weeks ago, I'm going to get the hourly 
news for 2 weeks ago.

I think the only missing piece is to ensure that the title added to the 
playlist is clear about which hour that hourly news is from.

For now, this item is being closed. Let's open a different issue if we decided 
to move in a different direction for the UX of the newscast.
