U.S. Business Journal Now Available on BlackBerry Mobile Devices

U.S. Business Journal, an e-publication dedicated to providing the latest in business information and company news on the nation’s private and public companies, has signed a partnership agreement with BlackBerry that enables its users to subscribe to and download the e-newspaper directly to their BlackBerry mobile device.

“Business executives and their staff spend most of their time each day gathering sufficient business information needed to make the most reliable business decisions,” said Stephen Bastien, publisher of U.S. Business Journal. “By having much needed information available instantly on their BlackBerry, business professionals will save time and be able to make faster, more sound decisions regarding which companies to do business with.”

Each day, U.S. Business Journal gives subscribers the most updated information on private and public companies nationwide that are either experiencing some form of business challenge or are rapidly expanding. It offers a wealth of information for commercial credit managers, merger & acquisition specialists, venture capital firms, bankruptcy attorneys, commercial financing institutions, factoring companies, commercial insurance companies, investors, and business owners who need to keep current on the financial status and current events of the companies most important to them in their day-to-day operations.

According to Bastien, “While firms such as D&B, Equifax, and Experian give a brief credit history and background of many of the nation’s financially troubled and fast-growing firms, U.S. Business Journal, with its archives and company tracking system, helps subscribers keep current on companies in a way D&B and the other services will not.”

To access the U.S. Business Journal content on their BlackBerry device, users will download and install a simple applet they can run from their BlackBerry desktop. Once installed, users select the applet to browse the U.S. Business Journal content. In this release, content is updated daily, delivered to a subscriber’s Blackberry, and stored on the device so the user may access it at any time. This applet accesses the content live over the Internet and only requires a radio connection.

Pricing and Availability
U.S. Business Journal pricing starts at $250 for a one year subscription, which includes access to archived issues and the Customer Tracking System, where subscribers can receive the latest business news on their specific customers emailed to them. The U.S. Business Journal is expected to be available for the BlackBerry device by July 1.
