Very useful glossary of all things mobile

Mobext, the international mobile agency, has just launched The Mobile Index, an educational online glossary of portable tech.

There is a brief commentary for each term – opinionated at times (but there’s no harm in a bit of color). There are also videos, images and links to other nifty stuff.

Mobext says the glossary works well on any device, with any screen sizes, so give it a go. If any definition is missing or needs amending, let them know.

Here are some sample definitions:

adaptive design
aggregator
application programming interface (API)
augmented reality
banner ad
bluetooth
citizen journalism
cloud storage
code
conflict minerals
creative commons
crowdsourcing
data
display advertising
DIY innovation
ebook
feature phone
gaming
geo-everything
haptics
hot spot
html5
