Google is making available Google News for mobile devices, allowing mobile users access to relevant information while on the go. Mobile phone users will now be able to search and read the latest headlines quickly and easily on their web-enabled mobile devices.
Google News offers quick headline updates, plus the ability to search current news and browse categories. To access Google News, users simply visit google.com on their mobile phone's web browser, and click the link to Google News. Users will then be directed to links and headlines for the top news stories.
Once an article has been selected, users are sent directly to the news source. Google News also provides users with the option to browse through quick links to specific news categories such as Business, Science/Tech, Sports, Health, and Entertainment. Only sources whose content has been designed specifically for viewing on mobile devices are displayed, ensuring that users can quickly and easily read the news they want.
Google News is currently available in the U.S. but Google is exploring opportunities to make the service available in other international markets.
