Microsoft have launched a redesigned MSN portal optimised for mobile phones, stepping up its offering at a time when more powerful devices increase the demand for richer content on handsets.
US mobile internet use still represents only a fraction of computer-based web usage, but technology heavyweights like Microsoft see increasingly powerful mobile phones and faster networks opening the door for new services and content. Microsoft's new MSN Mobile portal -- http://mobile. msn.com - offers news, sports information, entertainment features and access to services like e-mail, search, maps and instant messaging all on one page. When a user accesses the portal, the MSN platform detects the handset and optimises the site for that device, adjusting things like font sizes for different screens.
