Meet goMobi - A New Content Mobilization Platform- Here in dotMobi we've just launched our latest product. The culmination of months and months of hard work by the dotMobi team has resulted in the release of our spanking new content mobilization platform: goMobi. You can find all the official blurb over at http://gomobi.info along with some videos of our CEO and CTO talking about the product. What I aim to do here is to give an overview, from a developer's viewpoint, so that you can find out what there is in goMobi to appeal to the developer in you. A quick introduction

Kind of a "sunshine transcoder story"- I guess many of you have been following discussions on various attempts by network operators to transcode desktop web sites and squeeze them on to a mobile device, without respecting the intentions of content owners. The case I'll be talking about is the TeliaSonera case, and their "SurfOpen" service. First time around, the launch caused an uprising among the content owners forcing TeliaSonera to go offline with SurfOpen. Now SurfOpen is launched again with a more reasonable approach.

User Agent Widget Trace Facility- Sometimes you've got a user-agent on your clipboard and you just can't work out what it is. Enter our User Agent Widget Trace Facility (or UA-WTF for short). Scroll down a little and start entering a mobile browser user-agent into the box below. With a bit of cross-site scripting magic, we've hooked up this page to a live instance of our DeviceAtlas API. As you type (hopefully) you'll see what we know about it. DeviceAtlas Ts&Cs apply. Have fun!

dotMobi Loves Mowser- At long last we can announce some great news! dotMobi is acquiring the well-known Mowser service that provides content adaptation services for mobile. We're very excited about this. Russell Beattie and Mike Rowehl are both very talented mobile gurus and they'll be joining the dotMobi team to help us do cool things with their technology. We did this deal because Mowser fits really well into lots of our current projects. Firstly, the Mowser directory, search and listings will be integrated straight into our newly launched find.mobi service.

Score one for the Developers!- In case you missed it Openwave announced an update to its OpenWeb Adaptation Solution which will do a better job of respecting mobile specific content and the intent of the content onwer/author. It turns out that the Openwave contribution to the see of transforming proxies to bring the 'full web' down to mobile browsers will now at least make an attempt at allowing developers who take the time, effort and energy to build mobile specific interfaces actually deliver them to end users.

Content Transformation and "The Manifesto"- There has been a lot of discussion in recent days on Luca's Manifesto. I just wanted to note that the W3C Content Transformation Task Force is working with industry players to find a resolution to this difficult problem. The goal is to reconcile the objectives of those various players particularly "to help provide users with an acceptable experience of the Web on Mobile". I represent dotMobi on the Task Force and in fact am the editor of the Guidelines that the Task Force is producing.

- Responsible Reformatting
- We have recently seen that several mobile network operators have implemented what's become known as "content transcoders" or "transcoding proxies". Vodafone and TeliaSonera are among them. The idea is to make the desktop web available on mobile devices. One of the side effects we have seen is that, put simply, already mobile optimized portals are also reformatted, destroying a carefully designed mobile user experience. Luca Passani has taken the initiative to clarify the impact of transcoders and suggest some basic rules for transcoding proxies to follow in this developer manifesto.
