China learns English on mobiles thanks to Nokia

Nokia_logo Nokia isn't waiting to tap the XXL markets in China: the mobile handset company is helping the Chinese learn English through their mobile phones. Using Nokia's Mobiledu service, Chinese handset owners download English lessons right to their phone for $0.26 per download. Mobiledu also offers career tips and other how-to information; all of the services run on S40 and S60 Nokia phones as well as any standard handset that supports KJava applications, similar to the Widsets applications we've previously covered.

Hmm,
China is also learning English now. Truly English is becoming global language now. India seems to be the most benefited country from English Langauge. India is the back office of the world now. How India is changing- http://IndiaInvestigated.blogspot.com

$0.26 per download? I've been downloading German lessons in iTunes for free.
