Here’s the
place for local news and information on the go. The Newspaper
Association of America, as it did with newspaper
and classifieds
Web links, has made it easy to find local news wirelessly.
The Local News Gateway shows all the wireless sites available
from newspapers and gives you the right links for the device
you’re using.
Phone
Users
Tap in www.lngate.com
(that’s "l" as in "local"), or use your
personalized Web pages to add this link to your custom wireless
selections. Bookmark this link and return often as you travel.
Verizon Wireless subscribers can access local news directly
with Mobile
Web service.
PDA
Users
If you have a connected PDA, download the Local News Gateway
PQA here.
Save the PQA into the Program Files/Palm/Ad-on folder on
your desktop. A PQA is a Palm operating system application
that will download to your Palm device the next time you
synchronize. Then, find the newspaper icon on your PDA index.
Pocket
PC and iPAQ Users
Go to www.lngate.com
for news optimized for the Pocket PC or iPAQ. It also has
regular newspaper URLS that may be accessible from your
device.
This is all
part of a pilot program. (Here's
more). Not all newspapers
have a wireless edition yet. If no newspaper offers a wireless
edition in the city or state you select, the gateway will
suggest nearby and national editions suitable for your device.
