goMobi in action.
On Monday, 7 February, dotMobi released an upgrade to our award-winning goMobi product, bringing it to version 1.3.
While there’s lots to tell you about it, our friends at OpenSRS wrote a very good blog entry explaining everything you need to know about the new version.
So rather than reiterate what they’ve already said so well, let me direct you to their blog for full details.
The goMobi Challenge is on now!
Given that it’s been a very hot summer this year, we decided everyone needed a few days to regroup for the goMobi Challenge.
Since we want to see just how personalized you can make a goMobi site, we’re giving you a little extra time to show us your stuff. We’ve extended the contest through October 17, 2010.
And along with the first-prize package of 100 one-year subscriptions to the goMobi product and highlighting you and your winning entry via an international press release, we’re giving the winner a 16 GB, WiFi-enabled iPad (all the better for looking at mobile websites).
But time is still short, so get going now.
We’ve got a prize-winning contest for you: The goMobi Challenge is on now!
By now, you’ve heard us talk about goMobi, our new mobile site building and content management tool. While we’ve discussed it mainly as an easy way for non-tech folks to quickly build mobile sites, we designed it so that Web developer and designer pros can use it as a base for building top-notch mobile sites as personalized and unique as you — or your clients — want.
We want to see just how personalized and unique you can make a goMobi site. And that’s why we’ve created a special contest: the goMobi Challenge. The basics are simple. Register for a free test site at http://cp.gomobi.info/gomobi_challenge. Then check out our mobiForge article on using the many developer-specific tools included with each goMobi account. And build away! Build a site for a business — even your own — or a band or club or … Well, you get the idea. We want to see your creativity in using goMobi to create unique sites.
When you’re done, just visit our goMobi Facebook page (http://facebook.com/gomobi) to submit your entry.
“What do I win?”
If you’re the winner, you’ll receive a first-prize package consisting of 100 one-year subscriptions to the goMobi product plus we’ll highlight you and your winning entry via an international press release to help you gain more clients.
Contest submissions will be accepted through 15 September 2010. You can see the full list of rules and disclaimers at http://facebook.com/gomobi.
Now, get going and goMobi!
As you likely saw earlier today, dotMobi has launched a new product: goMobi. While our Instant Mobilizer product served a specific niche in transforming existing content, goMobi is a major leap in capabilities — and possibilities.
goMobi is more than a mobile site builder or content management system. It’s a hybrid of the two that addresses the content gap on the mobile Web.
Content gap?
In the past few years, there’s been significant progress in mobile technology, particularly with smarter handsets and faster networks. Content, the third leg of the “mobile stool” — along with handsets and networks — has not kept up with innovations. goMobi addresses this gap by understanding that good content is about experience. A good experience is about relevance. Most mobile sites currently mistake “Mobile Relevance” for the same as “Desktop Relevance,” only smaller. goMobi corrects that assumption.
As we’ve often said, dotMobi believes that the mobile Web is nothing like the desktop Web, and should not be modeled after it. In that way, for instance, we have a similar attitude as Apple does towards the iPad and its standard Macintosh computers.
goMobi Mobile Site, built using dotMobi's new goMobi product.
The mobile interface should be about what the mobile user may want to do, and should be individualized to achieve the best possible experience for each customer.
goMobi meets those needs by delivering the first truly usable content mobilization platform. goMobi is:
The end result for an SMB is the opportunity to create and grow a mobile presence without needing to be knowledgeable about latest trends or technology. goMobi takes care of that.
The end result for the mobile Web user is accessing a Web site that gives you the ability to do exactly what you want to do — quickly, easily and completely.
One of the things I’m especially excited about is that the goMobi platform has been designed for quick extensibility, meaning that new features and options will be coming on a regular basis as users find new ways for goMobi to promote their businesses. It also means goMobi is “future proof” as a platform.
If you’ve been waiting to build you mobile website, now’s the time to jump in. The control panel you use to build your mobile site is easy — and, dare I say, fun — to use. The site you create will look terrific, no matter what phone you’re using to access it; goMobi sites make every phone act like a smartphone with clean icons and text indicators … and all with no special effort on your part.
We have a raft of information on our new product Web site, and even a new Facebook page so you can give goMobi your own “Thumbs Up!”
