GhanaWeb launches new and improved mobile versions

GhanaWeb, the only web portal in Ghana informing, educating and entertaining millions of Ghanaians worldwide has launched its new WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) and Smartphone versions with an improved User Interface for mobile.

The mobile versions are technically and strategically developed to meet the dynamic technological times and also to make easily accessible the information and features GhanaWeb has to offer.

The new WAP version and Smartphone version is an improvement of the already existent classic version which was designed for feature phones.

Henceforth, when connected to GhanaWeb via mobile, the handset will automatically select the most suitable version to connect to for optimum usage, easier navigation and unrivalled web experience.

This feat follows the launch of GhanaWeb Radio App for Android phones some months ago with over 200 Ghanaian radio stations streaming live.

Features: Classic Version

This is the already existent mobile version with a lot more texts than pictures and two slots for advertisements to serve the needs of advertisers.

It has a very simple User Interface for old feature phones and loads faster.
