Fluent Mobile, a mobile content organization and delivery company, launched along with Fluent News, its first application for the iPhone and iPod touch. Founded by a team of internationally recognized computer science experts, Fluent Mobile is dedicated to bringing the speed, reliability and convenience of desktop Web browsing to handheld devices.

Fluent News is the first iPhone and iPod Touch application to aggregate exclusively made-for-mobile content from the most trusted news sources across the Web into a single, easy-to-read and up-to-the-minute mobile newspaper. It’s the fastest, most convenient way to browse and read news on the iPhone or iPod Touch. Fluent News can also be accessed through other mobile devices at http://www.fluentnews.com.

“We are going to redefine expectations for the mobile Web experience,” said Micah Adler, Fluent Mobile’s CEO. “Over just the past two years, the mobile industry has seen great advances in device capabilities, bandwidth and the sheer breadth of mobile content. However, browsing the mobile Web can still be an extremely frustrating experience. Fluent Mobile is dedicated to narrowing the experience gap between mobile and desktop Web browsing by optimizing the search, organization and delivery of dynamic mobile content. At the forefront of the news industry’s transformation from paper to desktop to mobile, Fluent News is just the first step in our plans to improve the usability of the mobile Web.”

Fluent News makes it fast and easy to see a broad range of the most important news being covered by the top news organizations.
