Can Joey Make Mobile Browsing Better?
Posted by Jon Westfall in "NEWS" @ 09:25 AM
"One of the latest projects out of the Mozilla Labs is Joey, a Firefox extension designed to solve this problem by taking snippets of a web page from the desktop and, through a mobile formatted portal, make the text or media available in a mobile friendly and usable way.Here's how it works: someone can use Firefox to send text clippings, pictures, videos, RSS content, and Live Bookmarks to a phone through the Joey Server. The Joey Server transcodes and keeps all of the content up-to-date. The person can then use the phone's web browser or the Joey application on the phone to view and manage what has been uploaded. "
An interesting approach to mobile content - basically the angle is that if your favorite site doesn't offer a mobile version, Joey will create one for you. Anyone tried this out? I may do so if I get some time at the end of the week - after all, anything to make pages look better!
