Zumobi to climb onto Windows Mobile phones

Zumobi logoMicrosoft and Zumobi, a content distribution platform for mobile phones, announced on Tuesday a partnership that will preload Zumobi (download here) on select Windows Mobile phones.

Zumobi’s downloadable app (available now for Windows Mobile 5 and 6) offers an interface of 16 tiles to help users access key content quickly. Each tile is a widget that’s entirely programmed by developers and partners–like Amazon.com, Flickr, and AP Sports–and which is subject to advertising banners. Zumobi’s big innovation is the navigation that zooms into tiles by quadrant and then by tile to access the widget. There are some weaknesses to this approach, noted in my initial hands-on review, though Zumobi’s interface is indeed as "lush" as the marketing claims.
