New service brings Internet to Mobile Phones
New service allows users to choose parts of web
pages for display on their mobile phone or PDA
26 January 2004
Surerange Analysis Ltd., today announced MobileClipper,
an Internet service that allows users to create personalised web
clips of web pages and view them on their mobile phone.
MobileClipper clips information users might want
to view on the move, for example, news, weather, live sports results,
lottery results, flight arrivals, live train departure times,
TV listings, travel information and stock quotes. The results
are viewable on any phone with a WAP or mobile web browser.
MobileClipper isn't just for personal use. Companies
can clip address books, jobs, deliveries, information, advice
or any instant and timely information that makes employees more
productive on the move. It's also possible to use MobileClipper
to create mobile versions of web pages for suppliers and customers.
Regarding mobile and PDA web browsing, Bloor Research/Silicon.com
recently commented "Pointing your device at the broader internet
doesn't help either - the vast majority of sites are simply unusable
on a quarter VGA screen, let alone anything smaller". MobileClipper
solves this problem and brings the Internet to small screens.
“MobileClipper is implemented using the latest
Microsoft mobile .NET technologies” said Paul Whiteman,
the senior architect of MobileClipper. “This allows it to
serve information to the many types of WAP and XHTML device, as
well as to Microsoft's own Pocket PC Phone and Smartphone”
Individual users can sign up for a Personal Subscription
at $19.99 per year. Business subscriptions are also available.
MobileClipper can be found at www.mobileclipper.com
