News junkies, rejoice! PressDisplay, a Web service that specializes in browser-formatted newspapers, now offers mobile reading on BlackBerry and Windows Mobile phones. I tested it on a Samsung BlackJack.
You can choose from over 500 newspapers from around the world (the New York Times and Wall Street Journal not among them, unfortunately); PressDisplay provides a full-color thumbnail scan of each page, followed by links to each story contained on that page. Hit a link for perfectly formatted text of that story — a huge improvement over the typical browser-based reading experience. There’s also a robust search feature for finding stories across all the available papers, and even an option to have a synthesized voice read stories aloud.
In short, PressDisplay is a must for mobile travelers who love non-stop news. Subscription plans start at $9.95 per month.
