Microsoft today said it revamped its MSN Mobile portal for mobile phone owners. This new offering is designed to allow MSN users and others more easy access to mobile content from the online portal.
MSN Mobile’s pages, according to Microsoft, have been designed for optimized rendering on the screens of mobile phones. It is designed to be compatible with all devices with Internet browsers utilizing Wireless Application Protocols (WAP) 1.2 or greater. A wide array of offerings is available through MSN Mobile, including access to e-mail, news, sports, entertainment, local movie listings, maps and directions, as well as Windows Live services such as Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Spaces, and Live Search.
Microsoft added it is pursuing alliances with operators to integrate MSN Mobile on their own WAP home page. It is also looking to create additional opportunities to jointly pursue mobile advertising opportunities with local businesses, mobile operators, advertisers and publishers.
