Handmark announced the new UK versions of its award-winning Pocket Express news and information service for Symbian S60 smartphone users.
Tailored specifically for the UK market, the new Pocket Express offers free access to essential BBC news, global weather and minute-by-minute score reports for UK and European footballer fans.
In addition, the premium service offering includes updates from global financial markets, flight status for more than 75,000 international destinations from over 3,500 airports, cinema show times throughout the UK, and fast access to the authoritative New Oxford Dictionary of English and companion Oxford Thesaurus. Pocket Express combines these services with the world’s first mobile live personal assistant, MobileCierge. With one tap, customers can speak to a live assistant who can help solve almost any personal, travel, medical, or emergency-related request anywhere in the world.
And in case you’re a BlackBerry user, you’ll have to wait just a bit more, as Handmark said they’ll be rolling out the version for RIM-made devices in the near future.
In the meantime, even though Pocket Express sounds like a cool and time saving app/service, I’ll keep relying on Google for all my information needs…
UPDATE: Pocket Express is now available across Europe in 8 different languages. Here’s our post that talks about it.
