MoFuse - Mobi-lize your blog or web in 5 seconds

This is a great new webservice from the MoFuse, Rhode Island, US startup company. In 5 seconds you can get a nice looking .mobi optimized blog or website (or if you like, you can of course create a new one). I decided to use this blog to make a .mobi version, works very well, I am impressed. MoFuse also generate your QR code that can be used by camera phone scanning software to launch your browser. See the result at http://tlidforss.mofuse.mobi/ and MoFuse screenshots below. David Berube, the founder and the staff have a done an excellent job. It's a pity, I have not got an iPhone yet, would like to use a real one instead of a browser emulator.

Locify - Great example of how location is adding value to applications

If you have not heard of Locify and you have a Java capable mobile phone you are missing something. Locify is a service that has location enabled services such as twitter, wikipedia, geo-caching, fireeagle. You can design a new service or "locify" an existing one. The service works with most ordinary Java capable browser equipped mobile phones. Is of course to you advantage to have the mobile phone with built-in GPS but it works without. Locify applications also synch with the web.

What all of this means is that you can walk around in a city and get to look up and explore interesting places on Wikipedia, save interesting places, track and map your way and twitter about all of it to your friends.

Locify works with external through Bluetooth connection GPS devices, server side GPS, the built in GPS and without GPS. See the mobile waypoint example allowing you to save your way.

Mobile Mail for Everyone, One click mobile international calling

From the last Mobile Monday (MoMo) Sweden event before summer, Ken Imamura from MoMo introduced MoMail's Lars Aase, VP Marketing presented their free mobile phone email solution. MoMail provides a solution where you can check your email from Google, Yahoo or work and get your copy to your mobile phone as well as on your MoMail web. MoMail is a very smart and compact service allowing you to use it on most phones regardless of screensize and memory. MoMail also remembers where your email came from so when you reply to your Google email, your gmail address will show up.

Rebtel's CEO, Hjalmar Winbladh presented Rebtel's service for making mobile international calls using local phone numbers. You can add your friends phone number, get a local number and call your friend. You pay a small fee per minut and as an option if your friend is within one of the 48 countries supported and your friend also get a local phone number, you don't pay Rebtel anything for the call. Rebtel's service is similar to the UK based, Hype but is easier to use with its two call method choices and it does not "piggy-back" on Skype.

The CEO of Squace, Aage Reerslev presented the personalization and easy to navigate the web solution based on a "square like" screen layout where you can tag and bookmark and store and share with your friends how you use the web from your mobile phone. Squace is also working on how to simplify the use of Rebtel services by using the Squace frontend.

I also met with people from YaYa Productions, Adimo (mobile services and solutions) and Mobile Sorcery (mobile software solutions).

Next MoMo event is a 2-day event planned for early fall.
