Default AOL Tests Cell-Phone Search Site

http://today.reuters.com/sponsoredby/VerizonNewsArticle.aspx?type=internetNews&storyid=2005-07-27T045856Z_01_N26193985_RTRIDST_0_NET-MEDIA-AOL-DC.XML

"America Online plans to begin testing a new service that lets wireless phone users search the Internet and link to regular Web pages that it will reformat for tiny cell-phone screens. The test of AOL Mobile Search Services is an attempt to move away from the computer, where its position as the dominant Internet provider is being undermined as users defect to cable operators and telephone companies offering high-speed Internet access."

It is nice to see a giant like AOL appreciate the need for more services on our tiny screens. As mentioned above though we see they are under some pressure to branch out a bit. It will be interesting to see what they come up with other than another way to try and funnel people to their bloated overpriced service.
