News Web sites are the third most popular destination in the information category, just behind search and weather, with sports a close fourth, according to M:Metrics, which measures mobile use. Other activities in the news and information category include choosing movies and restaurants and calling up traffic reports and maps to find the way.

If the sports component were included, then ESPN places strongly, along with Fox and CBS. Most of the mobile users said they got their news and information through Yahoo, which is excluded here because it is also a portal. SHELLY FREIERMAN
