German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle is now offering hourly updated one minute news headlines for mobiles in German and English.
DW has been experimenting with special Internet services for mobile phones since 2005 – for the football world cup 2006 30 languages were on offer.
The German and English programmes of DW-RADIO were also recently launched for mobile reception.
The new ‘DW-TV News’ service is available free of charge from mobile.dw-world.de, for use with UMTS or EDGE-enabled mobile devices such as mobiles, PDAs or Pocket-PCs.
