The Moscow Times has launched its mobile version, allowing readers to access the newspaper's latest information via their mobile phones.

Users can also update their mobile client, allowing them to read the news from the English-language newspaper without a network connection.

The Moscow Times Mobile is available through all major Russian operators, according to SWBusiness.

Published in Moscow, The Moscow Times is usually handed out for free in places frequented by English speakers, such as hotels and cafés. The mobile version uses the latest version of Sendandsee Ltd's patented Mobiprint Mobile Publishing platform, SWBusiness reported.

The newspaper was owned by Independent media until 2005, when it was bought by the Dutch-Finnish publishing group Sanoma.
