BBC's h2g2 Goes Mobile - Again

Posted by timothy on from the as-well-it-ought dept.

zaktheduck writes "According to a recent press release, in anticipation of the new movie and the h2g2 website's sixth birthday, the BBC have relaunched the long-shelved h2g2 Mobile service. The new version of the popular community website allows access to the 7000+ and growing edited guide entries from PDAs, and smartphones. H2g2 had a WAP service back in 2001, aptly named "h2g2 on the Move", but was cancelled when the company faced financial trouble and was purchased by the BBC. Here's a copy of the old promotion page for the service."

    Does it have a page on how much the movie sucks?

      Would've done, but either someone purposely set up a SEP field, or the movie is actually pretty good.

    If the Hitchhiker's Guide wasn't mobile, it wouldn't be much use to a hitchhiker, now would it?
