Netvibes goes mobile

Screenshot of Netvibes' login on a mobile Those of you who have followed my recommendation to use Netvibes as your web aggregator, can now access the site on your mobile at http://m.netvibes.com/

I've tried it out on my smartphone HTC-S710 and it seems to work perfectly. It list all your widgets, column by column, and you can follow the links to summaries and original sources. It would have been nice if you could choose to see only unread items, but alas, it shows you all. When I get around to it I'll probably rearrange my page a bit to make it more useful on a mobile, perhaps setting up a separate tab for mobile browsing.

The mobile version does not allow you to handle preferences and settings, and if you do not already have an account, you need to connect through your laptop to get one.

If any of my readers have an iPhone, they can access a special iPhone version at http://iphone.netvibes.com/
