Zumobi Mobile Widgets Application for BlackBerry
I can’t remember who it was, but somebody was evangelising Zumobi to me big time. So I just took a look but I remember that I couldn’t use it in the past for some reason –but need to go back and try again.
So what has Zumobi done now?
Zumobi has developed its BlackBerry product to enhance the user experience by providing easy access to small “bites” of customized Web content via mobile device.
What is the Zumobi business model?
The Zumobi platform is an ad supported platform. But it also offers a fully branded experience within the platform for brands to capture consumers.
It is not a widget – it is a title?
Apparently Zumobi’s widgets are called title (I think I prefer widget – title sounds a bit naff). Current existing widgets include sports (NPR, AP Olympics, Baseball) and also social media sites (Facebook and Twitter). Hey, Zumobi Gomo News is social media how do we get a widget?
From the press release:
“By adding BlackBerry as our second major mobile platform, Zumobi significantly expands our reach for brand and content partners. We’re thrilled to introduce Zumobi to Blackberry’s data-savvy users, and look forward to providing them with a highly-engaging mobile experience,” said Ken Willner, vice president of Market Development.
This announcement follows closely on the heels of the release of an updated application for Windows Mobile announced in June.
