Hongkong Post Android application
*********************************

     Hongkong Post today (December 29) announced that a new mobile application running on the Android platform will be available for download from the Android Market from December 30. You may go to the Android Market and search for "Hongkong Post" or go to the Hongkong Post website (www.hongkongpost.com) and click the direct link for downloading free of charge.

* Indicating the nearest post offices, posting boxes and mobile post offices on a digital map;
* Providing a postage calculator and the ability to compare the cost of different services for the same piece of mail; and
