The mobile magazine service will form part of the operator's new SHOW initiative, which offers content that can either be pushed to handsets overnight or requested as real time downloads.

Picsel will also provide editing tools and its server based solution, allowing content providers to receive requests from subscribers and process them in real time. The service will support Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability (WIPI C) complaint handsets.
