T-Mobile Offers ‘Newspaper’ To Cellphone Users

(sub. req): As I’ve written about this before, just because you’re putting news on mobiles doesn’t mean you’re a newspaper on mobiles. It is just a new service…don’t confuse semantics with novelty (or the lack of) of the idea…

Anyway, T-Mobile is pushing its news service in Europe and US, designed to give cellphone users easy and immediate access to the news of the day.

The European service, available in Germany, the United Kingdom and Austria, involves offering to deliver a digital newspaper, called News Express, to its subscribers’ phones every morning and evening. (It is Flash-based, among the first such mobile Flash services..some details here)

In the U.S., T-Mobile has teamed up with CNN, and other media companies to offer a similar service.
