PeekAndPick is an application that runs on any MIDP device. It allows you to browse news headlines and story descriptions, select stories that interest you, and have their links e-mailed to your desktop.

PeekAndPick helps you get more out of your day. It gives you the opportunity to sift through news headlines, wherever you are, whenever is convenient to you. After you select the stories that look interesting, links to those stories are e-mailed to your desktop. At your desktop, simply open the e-mail and presto, you have a highly targeted set of links that you can follow to catch up on the news.

PeekAndPick runs on any MIDP device, which means you can run it wherever and whenever you want.
