BBC launches guide to everything

As A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy nears its cinematic release, the BBC has launched a service based on the novel's central concept - a mobile device filled with information about life, the universe and everything.

H2G2 offers articles on a broad range of topics, from The Simpsons to "How Soap Works". Entries are submitted by users and are accessible from web-enabled mobile phones or other devices that are directed to the H2G2 mobile website.
