There’s a New Year Around the Corner!

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

 

Dear Friends,

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year. Let us follow what Edith Lovejoy Pierce said - We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called “Opportunity” and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.

Have a great year ahaed!!

Newstop Beta: News you choose on the move

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

When the terrible events of 26/11 were unfolding in Mumbai , many of us at Mobisy were looking for news while on the move. We did not find anything notable so we decided to create a news aggregator using ‘Mobitop’, our revolutionary platform to create and distribute downloadable Mobile applications.

Today, we are launching the beta version of Newstop. Newstop is a downloadable Mobile application which aggregates news from different sources and delivers it right to the main screen of your Mobile phone. There is also a mobile friendly site to preview and download the application.

You can choose your own news sources from the menu. Our techie friends can also view aggregate of  keyword searches on ‘Twitter’ and ‘Google Blog search’. For example, if I want to keep myself updated with all the tweets about Mobisy, I can simply add ‘Mobisy’ twitter feed to Newstop !!

That’s not all, the killer feature of Newstop is the ‘ticker’ which scrolls live news on the main screen of your phone. From the newstop menu, you can choose feed from one of the news sources as the ‘ticker’. For example, during the India-England cricket match, my ticker is set to Cricket news. ‘Ticker’ is truly a unique feature developed by Mobisy, a way by which an application can proactively service user’s content needs.

There are many more things you can try with Newstop menu.

BTW all this is absolutely free, so go ahead and carry your news with you on newstop.
Please share all your feedback to newstop@mobisy.com.

Cheers,

L.

p.s. Currently the downloadable beta version supports only Symbian S60 3rd edition handsets, we will keep adding more and more handsets in the near future. The download link is visible when you access http://newstop.mobisy.com using browser of a compatible Mobile phone.
