Mozilla launches Joey mobile application - VIDEO
Back in May Mozilla dropped some hints about a new mobile web application called Joey. It's not a mobile version of Firefox, but rather a way to use your desktop to send web information to your mobile phone. Still not clear on exactly what Joey is and how it works? The Mozilla team working on Project Joey have put together a handy little video explanation.
Project Joey, Customize Your Mobile Web Experience - Tutorial from AirMozilla and Vimeo.
Joey is still in beta, but it looks like Mozilla is opening up the door to anyone who wants to test the application.
We're not sure there's a huge demand for this type of service. In a nutshell, Joey lets you watch a video or read information on your PC, and then read exactly the same information on your mobile phone. Perhaps if you're trying to send yourself driving directions or reminders this is handy, but there are a hundred simpler ways to do that without wasting data minutes on your phone.
And while it's nice to be able to watch web videos on your phone, we're not sure why you'd only want to watch videos you've already seen. Sure, you can turn to your friend and say "check out this video of Mentos and Diet Coke, it's on my phone!" But we're not sure they'll be particularly impressed with your 2006 technology and knowledge of viral videos.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

It looks more like a way to take snippets from the web and make them available in a mobile browser-friendly format.

Anyway, it probably still needs some work.
There's a saturation of services for every niche on the web, so the developers probably felt the need to create a new nich - hey, who knows.
