American cell phone giant, Verizon Wireless, has re-engineered its mobile internet browser, Mobile Web 2.0, adding new content channels, additional search functionality, and improved graphics.

Mobile Web 2.0 also comes with improved 10-button navigation and numerous navigational shortcuts, including easy-to-use dropdown menus, one-click access to online articles, graphical links, and improved cursor discovery.

“The redesign of Mobile Web 2.0 is another example of how we consistently strive to further enhance and simplify our customers’ wireless experience,” commented Lee Daniels, the vice president of consumer product development at Verizon Wireless. “Customer choice, easy navigation and usability are critical factors that help shape the success of a mobile data service in the marketplace.”

Mobile Web 2.0 allows Verizon cell phone users to access email, news, weather forecasts, sports highlights, and information from numerous content providers, including USA Today, MapQuest, ESPN, and Bank of America. It costs $5.00/month, plus airtime, if purchased as a standalone service.

Verizon’s latest improvements will take effect immediately for Mobile Web 2.0 users as soon as they navigate to the web.
