Millions of MySpace addicts can get their fix a little easier now: The social networking site is launching a free version for mobile phones.
Starting today, anyone with a Web-enabled mobile phone or PDA can access a scaled-down version of MySpace while on the move, to update friend requests, post messages or just tool around the site. Users will be subject to advertisements, provided and powered by Baltimore's Millennial Media.
Previously, mobile MySpacers had to pay about $3 a month to access a phone-friendly site. Now the popular site joins other Web content providers in scrapping subscriber fees for advertising support in a race to best deliver content to the small screens of mobile telephones and personal digital assistants.
