"In addition to searching and browsing more than 300 news sources from their desktop, 40 million Polish speakers from Poland and around the world will also be able to find News results through an iPhone," says Benoit Lafortune at the Google News Blog.

For those who can read Polish, there is a post about it from Przemysław Budkowski on the Google Poland Blog.
