SF portal comes to cell phones

 Swiss Television's online presence is going mobile: the news on the SF portal can be accessed on a cell phone via an optimized website. With the appropriate devices, users can also watch video news, as Swiss Television announced. The offer includes the "SF Tagesschau" and "SF Sport" pages, the weather forecast from "SF Meteo" and the TV program. Blogs, such as those by editor-in-chief Ueli Haldimann and Kurt Aeschbacher's diary, can also be found on the mobile-optimized site. There are also SMS services for sports highlights, ringtones from programs such as "Einstein" or "Samschtig-Jass" and background images for the cell phone display. An Internet-enabled cell phone is required to access the optimized SF website for cell phones. Anyone accessing Sf.tv will automatically be redirected to the cell phone page. Swiss Television offers the service free of charge. Connection costs vary depending on the provider and cell phone contract.
