If you are an information-hungry reader like me, here’s some exciting information for you: India-based media conglomerate India Today has a useful – and free – news and information widget of the same name for its readers. As an ardent reader of all its publications, India Today is one mobile application that I can easily recommend. What’s more, it’s easy to download from Ovi store.

The India Today news widget for Nokia phones has a graceful user interface that is equally informative. Install the widget and the wonderful app comes alive on the personalized home screen of your phone. The news and information widget allows you to stay updated with live content even as you are on the go. I recently installed this news app on my Nokia device and trust me when I say that it has become a lot easier to access global news on the move.

The India Today application meant for Nokia phones is more comprehensive than most other news widgets I have downloaded so far. This live news application provides relevant information such as the latest headlines, budget news, Bollywood happenings, as well as cricket and hockey updates.

You can also use the widget to access breaking news, developing stories, live coverage of events and archival content from the media house. All of this is easily available for all Nokia handsets. And if you suffer from an addiction to astrology like I do, then hop on to the widget’s fortune telling feature. It’s sure to get you excited!

As devices become customizable, so does information. You can choose to receive the kind of information you want, and when you would like to receive it. So you can alter settings to receive business-related news on weekdays and catch up with movie updates on the weekends.

If you are a Bollywood buff, the widget has all the latest news and gossip about your favorite stars. You can read reviews of new releases easily with the use of this superb Nokia app. Go ahead and bring your loved celebrities to your handset before anybody else does.

Launch the India Today widget on your phone and I assure you that it won’t disappoint. Easy to use and easy to install, the India Today widget is compatible with a variety of Nokia  S60 devices (details below).

Good things do come in small packages, and good news comes via this little widget that is only 0.32 MB in size!

India Today can be downloaded for free from Ovi store. All updates of the widget are free, too.
