Webaroo To Enable Internet Search On Handhelds When Offline

Webaroo, a Silicon Valley startup set up by former Junglee founder Rakesh Mathur, has launched a software program that would allow internet search on mobile phones, PDAs and PCs when not connected to the internet. “There is still a huge gap that wireless service does not cover. Two billion people use cell phones. One billion use the Internet — but very few people use the Internet on mobile devices,” Mathur said.
This is how it works: Webaroo servers crawl the Internet selecting a sampling of pages to fit the storage capacity of a given device. This will be made available to the user even when he is offline. Acer has announced that it will bundle the application on its laptops. [Via Technews World]
