Now this has become reality with FreeNews, a mobile news reader recently launched for public preview. FreeNews is a Java-based application that runs right off your cell phone. According to the FreeNews product information page most current cell phone models from the major brands (Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG etc) and wireless devices like the PalmOne Treo, BlackBerry and devices running the Windows Mobile operating system are capable of running FreeNews."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/FreeNews_FeedList.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />I haven't tested this myself. In theory it should work on Smartphones with the Java client but on the developers website it says "except Verizon". Must be a problem with the "worry free guarantee" or something. Anyone willing to try it out (except Verizon), and report back? There is a trial version available <a href="http://www.freerangeinc.com/try_or_buy">here.</a>
