National Public Radio, the US public radio network has a new mobile site. It's a general news site with politics, world, business, health and science news sections as well as music, book and movie reviews and feature stories. Most stories include a small photo. Instead of streaming audio, npr has a service where you can listen to broadcast clips by calling a special number. I'm sure the carriers prefer you to use voice minutes instead of unlimited data to listen! NPR's older text only site at thin.npr.org also works well on mobile browsers and does have streaming audio although only in Windows Media format.
