Google, Yahoo Offer Services Tailored For Mobile Phones
The Washington Post writes here: Internet access has become a standard feature on most mobile phones, but navigating a Web page over a tiny screen or a slow connection has kept consumers from flocking to their phones to check e-mail, read news stories or consult a map.
