Pocket Express wireless service delivers free news, sports, and weather, plus other subscription services including stock quotes, street maps and turn-by-turn directions, movie reviews and show times, 411 directory search, and more. Pocket Express is available on BlackBerry, Palm Treo, motorola Q™ and other Windows Mobile wireless handhelds"</i><br /><br />This is an interesting and fresh approach to getting the an application on your device. It would be much easier to send a SMS and get a download link in return, than it would be to fire up IE Mobile and navigate to a website, then search for the application and eventually download it. I hope we see more of this type of thinking. :)
