At 3GSM in Barcelona today, Microsoft announced a preview of its MSN Direct service now available for devices with Windows Mobile, that will put weather, sports scores, business, stocks, and entertainment news on their home screens.Microsoft promises all news and stock tickers will be easy to read, and users will be able to select what information is shown on their mobile phone by relevance and/or preference.

Customers can either download MSN Direct through their phone, or onto a PC or other mobile device that can be connected to their phone. While Microsoft is offering MSN Direct for free, users should double-check to make sure their carriers don't charge them for it anyway.
