Microsoft has redesigned and relaunched its mobile portal, reports PC World.

Mobile.MSN.com now sports improved navigation features and design. The new-look site includes access to a number of MSN products such as Hotmail and Live Messenger. There is also sports news from Fox Sports, weather information and more, including search functionality for use in finding local businesses and maps.

Microsoft hopes to strike deals with mobile carriers that would put MSN Mobile on users' phones, enabling carriers to serve up ads to those users. Those ads would be served through ScreenTonic, which Microsoft recently purchased.
