Last month I was sitting in the tube in London and saw an ad about ONSPEED Mobile. I have never heard about ONSPEED Mobile. So I was interested and started researching.

ONSPEED Mobile is a mobile web browser. There is a 14 day free trial, after that you have to pay £ 19.99 per year.
When you request web pages or images via the ONSPEED Mobile browser, it’s sent directly to ONSPEED’s servers where it is then reformated and compressed and then sent direct to your mobile phone. So, the website you visit is an optimised version for your mobile phone (sounds familiar?). The company promises to increase surfing speed by not less than (up to) 10 times and also to reduce the data traffic up to 75%.

The download size of the browser is less than 100KB, but your mobile phone must be Java enabled. You can check out if your mobile phone supports ONSPEED Mobile at http://www.onspeedmobile.com.

d.Construct 2006 is a one-day web conference in Brighton, England, on the 8th of September. It is organized by the nice guys from Clearleft, namely Jeremy Keith, Andy Budd and Richard Rutter.

To quote from the website, d.Construct “… discusses how new technology is transforming the web from a document delivery system into an application platform.” So it seems we’re going to be at the right place - also for (mobile) web applications!

We are looking forward to seeing many people from the atmedia event this year and we hope to get in touch with many new people in the mobile area as well.

There are many new mobile services appearing on the web almost everyday. Here on PavingWays we are trying to keep up to date and we will review selected services from time to time. We will start with tiggdo.com.

What is tiggdo?
On tiggdo.com you can create your personal phone’s homepage with services that provide information or news you require. Right now there are already a couple of services available, e.g. RSS feeds, maps, traffic reports, weather, stock quotes, job search etc. For all available services check out the about page on tiggdo.com
tiggdo.com is free to use and if you are an developer, you can ask the tiggdo team to add your service.
