Pocket Guide?

A report from the Bookseller says Dorling Kindersley has got together with Mobile Systems to enable its top 10 Eyewitness travel guides to be downloaded to mobile phones and other handheld devices.

The first 10 guides include London, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, New York and Barcelona and users go to www.mobisystems.com to purchase the information.

The guides will be available on a number of mobile platforms, initially Symbian S60, with others including Windows Mobile, Smartphone and Blackberry, to follow.
