Launched only last week, Zumobi is a free web app for mobiles that aims to get all the interesting content users need and ensure quick accessibility to it. The app gets downloaded to your phone like a grid with room for 16 bookmarks, where users can put whatever they like or comes in handy out of the list provided by Zumobi, and which presently include access to a list of 80+ mobile apps like flickr, weather channel and moconews.
Zumobi encourages users to share tiles (jargon for bookmarks) as a way to make the app grow, because since the app is free to download the site generates revenue with ads, and thus larger audiences mean larger revenues. In order to download it to your phone (the app supports both touchscreens and keypads) you have to register to the site and create your profile. It will then be downloaded to the phone or pc and you can transfer it.
Zumobi.com In Their Own Words
“Zumobi lets you access and share web-based content on your mobile phone in an innovative, new way. It’s totally free and our Beta is ready for you to download now!”
Why Zumobi.com It Might Be A Killer
Zumobi updates users’ Tiles with fresh content throughout the day, which means that contents are cached, and therefore users won’t have to experience long browser loading delays each time they are looking for some of the web-based bookmarked contents. What’s really cool about this is that since the apps data is partially stored in each phone, user can use Zumobi in areas where wireless service is not available, which is definitely something users are not getting from the regular phone carriers, and a good reason as to why Zumobi might become the next killer startup.
Some Questions About Zumobi.com
Presently Zumobi.com is a bit of a closed site, in the sense that you must become an app user in order to browse all of the site’s contents and areas, which is a big downfall, as much as basic users that are not too familiarized with mobile tech might feel discouraged to start using Zumobi, as they will not get much stuff explained out. Will Zumobi developers reconsider some openness as a way to engage more users and expand the mobile community?
