Really like the fact that my (Randy's) favorite newsaper, the New York Times, has just launched a web site optimized for mobile phone users. They even released a press release about it.
The site, http://mobile.nytimes.com, provides access to news and information from NYTimes.com via mobile devices including Web-enabled phones and PDAs.
Readers can scan headlines on the section-fronts or read the complete articles from Latest News, World, Business, Sports, Arts and all other top-level sections of the Web site.
Spent some time playing around with it already via my Treo 650 (Sprint service), and let me tell you the downloads are much faster than via the regular NY Times web site! How much faster -- very much faster!
The NYTimes.com mobile site can be activated for free by typing http://mobile.nytimes.com into the Web browser of a Web-enabled phone or PDA.
Get all the news that's fit to download!

Wow, it's so crazy how easy it is to access once paper-only news sources. As great as it is to have fast news at your fingertips I hope the newspaper doesn't become obsolete. I don't want to live in a world where absolutely everything is electronic.
