Cell Phone News<\/em> 2.0 (cellphonenews2.mobi<\/a>) Is a Digg style site specializing in mobile related stories. Just like Digg, users can submit items and Digg, Bury and comment on stories. What surprises me about this site is how relevant articles seem to be.

From SMS Text News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Blue-Mobile<\/em> (blue-mobile.com<\/a> ) A directory of streaming TV and Radio stations. Most are in Windows Mobile format which limits the audience to Windows Mobile phones, unfortunately.<\/p>\n
