HOLD THE FRONT PAGE: IT’S THE WORLD’S FIRST NEWSPAPER PHONE
December 14th 2007 03:20
Sweden's Dagens Nyheter has launched the world's first ‘newspaper’ telephone: a mobile phone offering the daily's subscribers direct and free access to its website, according to AFP.
"We want our readers to be able to follow the news even when they're in places where they cannot lay their hands on a paper or (access the Internet on) a computer," Thorbjoern Larsson, Dagens Nyheter editor-in-chief and publisher, told AFP.
"This is yet another way of distributing the news," he added.
Dagens Nyheter subscribers can purchase the Nokia 6120 3G phone on the paper's website, and by signing up for a $A35 monthly call plan can freely surf the daily's website by simply hitting a special "DN" button.
