Mozilla's Joey Project: Mobile Online Content Service
Posted by Janak Parekh in "CONTENT" @ 04:00 AM
"Mozilla developers are experimenting with a service that lets users store online content on a remote server and access that information on cell phones. The service, known as Joey, can help mobile users save time and money when accessing online content. While the service itself sounds relatively basic, its developers say users could essentially self-syndicate any online information or view videos that they couldn't otherwise see on mobile phones. Using the Firefox browser on a computer, users select portions of Web sites, including images, text, and videos, and save them onto their personal Joey page. Later, the user can access that Joey page and all the stored items from a cell phone. It requires a phone with a browser and a data plan."
Sounds like it's the next step of personalized mobile pages, and is potentially useful in reducing the amount of surfing one has to do on a mobile phone. Has anyone tried the service?
