Russell Beattie has thrown together a sample mobile application called "Grazr" that is a really slick interface to news. It is "a free web page widget for browsing RSS and OPML files. The Grazr web panel is just the start of the Grazr.com project."
This looks like something I'd really like to see on a mobile phone. You can find his demo Javascript application shown in a picture of a mobile phone shell
here.
He's also offering a free copy for your web pages, if you want to provide this interface to users. He says there are some bugs, but encourages people to give it a test drive.
It will be interesting to see where this leads. There is clearly a lot of competition in the area of content interfaces on devices. But I'm sure we are all quite happy to see a multitude of new and improved interfaces for mobile devices, especially those who are using devices with smaller screens. Whether successful on their own or not, a wide variety of early solutions will certainly help to make the our future solutions better.
