New Version of MSN Mobile Rolls Out

By the Betanews Staff | Published June 18, 2007, 12:20 PM

Microsoft launched its redesigned mobile portal on Monday, which adds some new functionality in an effort to get ahead of its competitors in a growing market. The new portal automatically shows the best version of the site based on the type of browser and device accessing it, and includes links to sports, news, and entertainment features as well as links to Windows Live services such as e-mail, search, maps, and IM.

While the initial version of MSN Mobile does not include advertising, consumers can expect to see text and banner ads in the future, the company said. In addition, the new version of MSN Mobile also includes technology that automatically renders standard pages in formats suitable for mobile phones.

Again, BetaNews displays it's superior reporting skills... Do you have a link to the new version of MSN Mobile or even to the Microsoft press release?

Your story the way it is now, is not really anything more than a commentary - which is not so much news - since it isnt actually giving the reader what he needs to know to make the reading useful.
