The New York Times takes notice of Wireless Ink’s mobile publishing efforts with”A Library And Cinema In Your Pocket” – by Doreen Carvajal (Article also appeared in The International Herald Tribune on Dec, 5th. under the title, “Plot Heats Up On Cellphone As ‘Mobi-Lit’ Tests A Pulse“.)

The article describes in broad strokes the efforts of various companies (including Wireless Ink/WINKsite) pioneering the publishing of media to be consumed on mobile devices.

The folks over at MocoNews also noticed our mobile book publishing efforts commenting, “This makes a welcome change from the normal content on mobile phones, which the carriers and other content providers are trying to keep as restrictive as possible.”
