The Daily Deal Wireless is now available worldwide to users of hand-held and wireless devices. The Deal's mobile publishing platform is supplied by Roundpoint Inc., a leading service provider in wireless publishing.

From BlackBerrys(r) and PDAs to smart phones and WAP devices, dealmakers will have immediate access to the top daily news stories from The Daily Deal, features and columns from the financial newsweekly The Deal and breaking news updates during the day from TheDeal.com. To provide users with quick access to the articles, The Daily Deal Wireless home screen is organized into the following channels: Top News Stories, M&A, Private Equity, Venture Capital, IPOs, Bankruptcy & Restructuring, Middle Markets, Movers & Shakers, From around Europe and Deal Commentary.

"The Daily Deal Wireless is tailor-made for our deal community audience, made up of highly demanding, time-pressed corporate executives and financial professionals who constantly use their BlackBerrys when they're on the move. They want access to news on the go and do not want to be left behind." said Kevin Worth, president and CEO of The Deal LLC. The Daily Deal Wireless subscribers can also select a variety of daily delivery options:

  • PDA users can select a time each day to have the latest news delivered automatically to their PDA via synchronization with their home or office PC. PC synchronization is ideal for those who encounter spotty wireless-carrier reception during their commute or when they are on the go.
  • Wireless delivery directly to a WAP-enabled hand-held device is another way to receive The Daily Deal Wireless. It enables users to receive daily news and intra-day updates instantaneously and stay a step ahead of the competition.
  • Smart phone users can access the product through their wireless browsers. The Daily Deal Wireless offers those users anytime, anywhere connection to the most up-to-date deal news available.
