"Zumobi, the innovative mobile widget platform, announced its latest release for Windows Mobile. The updated application delivers new features and functionality to improve user experience and give the growing number of Zumobi users greater content from which to choose. One of the most compelling features of the new release is a Tile Wizard, which allows users to easily create their own Zumobi mobile widgets. Users can choose the look and feel of these widgets, stream data from their choice of RSS feeds, and turn personal blogs and favorite Web content into Zumobi Tiles they can enjoy as well as share with friends. Another new feature accompanying this release is the on-phone Tile Gallery, which enables users to select and upload Tiles directly from their mobile handset, allowing Zumobi users to explore and swap new content in and out while on-the-go. Zumobi also has produced a streamlined client for faster downloads of the application and a smaller on-phone footprint."

Create your own Zumobi tile with nothing more than an RSS feed - hmm, not a bad addition to their widget engine. This is how widgets should be - accessible to all and easy to create! Now if I can just find a few people that use Zumobi, I'd be in business. Is it more widespread than I think? Zumobi users, speak up!
