SmartFeed Mobile Server
E-Media Tidbits reports on Feedburner's new service that delivers feeds to mobile devices such as cell phones and pagers: the SmartFeed Mobile Server.
In their own words:
"SmartFeed creates a subscriber-aware version of your feed that intelligently deploys the right version of your feed to the appropriate subscribers. Today, SmartFeed understands the capabilities and limitations of syndication readers/aggregators and on-the-fly transforms your source feed to function in all of the readers and aggregators we know aboutt.
... This kind of service could have even bigger implications for the developing world, according to E-Media Tidbits. "As A Point recently noted, "For India, this can represent a tremendous leap in the amount of information available to people, ... and has the potential to change the structure of relationships. ... Many Indians will probably buy a cell phone before they buy a full-fledged computer."
