Mobio Networks, a startup with a mobile application for web-based lifestyle content, is officially opening up its service on Wednesday. I’ve checked out the free app at DEMO, which has widgets for movie times, event listings and other info about what to do when you’re out and about. I haven’t been able to download it yet to test it out (they say they are currently stress testing it until the official launch). But soon we’ll check it out, and you can too, assuming you have one of the compatible phones.
Stress testing? Mobio has been very unreliable.
Mobio is yet to figure out how to make money (per Red Herring article). Cause for stress?
It’s really crap. Tried it on two allegedly supported phones. Didn’t work on one. Crashed on the other and now I can’t even delete it.
The upgraded version from http://www.getmobio.com seems to have a lot more widgets like Cheap Gas finder, movie, restaurant, pizza, coffee-shop finder, etc. it has a pretty slick RSS reader too. i tried it on my BlackBerry and seems to work just fine.
