TeLUS Mobility offers wireless "Picture of the Day" from The Canadian Press

Services offering mobile subscribers picture alerts instead of text alerts from newswires on their handsets is definitely a fast growing trend.

Following last week's post on sports photo agency Empics plan to offer picture alerts of the latest sports news to mobile phones, wireless operator TeLUS Mobility and The Canadian Press Picture Service (Canada's national multimedia news agency) have announced that TeLUS clients across Canada can now download images from today's top news stories directly to their wireless phones.

This new"Picture of the Day" service, provides clients with the latest sports, entertainment, news or business photo highlights.

Clients choose a category when signing up for the service - sports, entertainment, news or business - and receive a free text message each weekday linking them to descriptions of the day's pictures from their selecte categories. Clients are charged only for images actually downloaded, according to a press release in newswire.
