AP Announces Mobile Services

The Associated Press announced Monday it will develop an advertising-supported service that will deliver stories and photos to advanced cell phones, including the iPhone.

The service, which will carry local news from participating newspapers as well as national and international news from the AP, is being tested with several newspaper companies and is expected to launch in the summer under the name Mobile News Network, the AP said.

AP said it was working with cell phone manufacturers and carriers to develop a user interface for the service. A product to provide news videos is also in the works.
