By: Nokia and Malayalam Manorama, India?s south-based publication group have teamed up to launch a 'mobile newspaper' on all of its GPRS-enabled handsets.
Users with Nokia GPRS-enabled handsets in Kerala will be able to access national and international news through the service. Sports, travel, music, astrology, and movies are some of the news categories that will be accessible through the vernacular news portal.
The mobile newspaper service will be offered in 10 languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, Oriya, Assamese, Mararthi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
