DoMo: Home page for your cell phone

DoMo from GoWare is a new PC app that lets you build a home page for your mobile phone. You create the categories you want on your phone, and choose content (such as RSS feeds) that goes in the categories. Then the app creates a home page for your cellular that's customized for the particular screen and resolution of your phone.

It looks like NetVibes for a phone, which is a pretty nice idea. Of course, what would be really cool is for NetVibes to offer a mobile version, so that you wouldn't have to create separate home pages for your computers and for your phones.

NetVibes Mobile...
by GoWare February 2, 2007 7:24 AM PST
We totally agree that NetVibes mobile would be fantastic. That's why we created DoMo has a "platform," capable of plugging into any existing content source (like your NetVibes page) but also aggregating other content (like files and applications from your PC) as well as linking into web-services (like myspace.com). We have already enabled a NetVibes-like product, PersonalWeb (www.personalweb.com), in exactly the same manner.

Thanks for the interest in our product. It will be publicly available for a short time with a planned public beta release in March.

You can bet that NetVibes will be one of the first plug-ins we launch...

Netvibes ONLY mobile offering...
by GoWare February 5, 2007 7:57 AM PST
The problem with a NetVibes only offering is just that: you only get NetVibes. We understand that although people are really starting to take to a personalized home-page offering, we also understand they visit services like online banking, and myspace, and Flickr, etc. Through our plug-in system, a user could add their NetVibes content as well as all these other content sources...and their PC hard drive where they can upload documents, music, videos, and connect to PC applications on the desktop.

We'll be launching a full public beta soon where everyone will get to try what we've built: a better mobile web experience.
