The New York-based GuruNet Corp. (www.gurunet.com) announced on March 29 that it has launched in beta a mobile version of its Answers.com search engine (www.answers.com). The new search engine is available through cellular phones and other mobile devices with Internet access by going to an Answers.com site tailored for small-screen gadgets.
Answers.com draws results from 150 different data sources, including encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases and glossaries, which collectively cover about a million topics. Bob Rosenschein, founder and chief executive of GuruNet, said that the rapidly increasing use of mobile phones has made the accessibility of reliable reference on the go a natural extension for GuruNet.
