Mike Rowehl: This is Mobility

Russ just posted about a new version of domain mapping we just released for Mowser. There are a bunch of little bug fixes in there as well. One other thing that made it into this version was mobilized feeds. Now when you’re viewing an adapted page that has an RSS feed we’ll add a header that lets you subscribe to the mobilized version of the feed on your device. For devices with the Nokia Open Source browser the action appears under the “Options” menu on the page, you’ll see an entry for “Subscribe” which should have “Mowser version of ….” in a submenu. In Opera Mini it appears at the very top of the page when you load something that has an associated feed.

In the mobilized version of the feed (something Russ posted about when talking about getting bookmarks onto a mobile) the content is left as originally presented, but links are passed through Mowser. I’m not sure how much use there is among the mobile crowd when it comes to feeds, but I’ve always been a big fan of RSS use from mobiles. If this helps even just a little bit with respect to making RSS more useful for mobile users I’ll be a happy camper.
