BusinessWeek Online and OmniSky have joined forces to provide timely business and financial news to handheld users via the OmniSky wireless e-mail and Internet service. Available immediately, OmniSky Corporation (Nasdaq:OMNY), the award-winning provider of branded wireless e-mail and Internet services for users of mobile devices, will offer subscribers easy access to BusinessWeek Online on its News and Finance content channels, including the latest industry news and market information.
BusinessWeek Online -- optimized for viewing on a handheld device -- provides up-to-date information and analysis on business issues and trends, technology, personal investing, global finance, careers, education and more.

It is a comprehensive resource for mobile professionals who want to keep on top of business when they're not in the office.
"BusinessWeek Online users and PDA owners are both tech-savvy," said Howard Manus, Vice President, Operations, BusinessWeek Online. "Businessweek.com users are more than twice as likely to have purchased a handheld device in the past year than the average Internet user. The OmniSky service is an effective means for us to reach this targeted audience."
"Wireless data usage is growing, driven in large part by the availability of meaningful and actionable content," said Chris Weasler, OmniSky's senior director of interactive services. "BusinessWeek Online is a valuable tool for OmniSky customers to help them stay on top of the latest business trends and market information. OmniSky's goal is to provide the content and services that mobile professionals need most, so they can turn downtime into productive time."
