The Daily Mirror today launched a new version of its website tailor-made for mobile phones.
Mirror Mobile allows readers to choose which news categories they wish to view on Mirror Mobile’s homepage, as well as opting for live sport updates, astrology predictions and weather reports.
Daily Mirror editor Richard Wallace said: ‘ We’re giving our users the news they want, when they want it and in the format of their choice.’
Trinity Mirror said that Mirror Mobile is the first in a roll-out of 13 mobile websites for the publisher’s national and regional titles, and the company has partnered with Bluestar Mobile and Nokia in developing these sites.
