04/1 New Mobile Services: Wikipedia and Weblogs
| Category: Mobile Content By editor at 22:39 |
There was an article in Tages-Anzeiger's Digital by Roger Zedi about Wikipedia which is now available via WAP on your mobile phone.
Check it out at:
http://de.wap.maxpedia.org or
http://de.wap.freepedia.org and http://de.wapedia.org
Now if you want to try out some mobile weblogs via WAP (wml and xhtml) - attention self promo - check out:
http://home.kaywa.com/mobile. Scroll a bit down to latest entries and the search. You can search weblogs by their subdomain. Enter "mobile" for instance.
Or if you know the name of a particular weblog, like digitalsushi of Tages-Anzeiger, then enter directly:
http://digitalsushi.kaywa.ch/mobile
By the way, the introduction pages are in english or german according to the language of your device, the weblog itself is in the language of the owner. So http://image.kaywa.com/mobile remains french.
PS: Everybody with a WAP mobile phone can surf the KAYWA weblogs. But for the moment you need a swiss mobile phone to start your own weblog directly via your mobile. But if you are interested to open a Kaywa weblog, let me know.

Hi,
There is a new service which enables Wikipedia access on your mobile, it' called Unyverse.http://www.unyverse.com
It is smart client application running on your Java , Siambian or Windows Mobile Phone.
It has nice advantages over the pure WAP/WEB access:
1) The reading experience is better I think because your can scroll page by page and adapt the font size
2) You can bookmark articles and retrieve them on your unyverse web account
3) You read access offline all your previously downloaded articles, which is usefull when there is no or slow network data coverage.
4) It is faster because the entire article content is downloaded compressed, then you can read any section instantly
There is a nice demo on You Tube :
