Browsing Internet websites from your phone is an awkward and unpleasant experience today. Most content is formatted for large screens, so even if you have a browser that is capable of displaying a page’s content (a rare occurrence in these days of JavaScript heavy, media centric sites), excessive scrolling and large graphics can make traditional websites unusable. Similarly, today’s spotty, high latency, low bandwidth data connections can make browsing mobile-friendly web sites an unpleasant experience. Have you ever had to wait 30 seconds to look up a page on your phone, only to find that the information you need is 3 links deep in another website? Users often give up after many minutes of fumbling with tiny screens and “phone a friend” to find those movie listings or buy a newspaper to read the latest headlines.

Browz was designed to bring the best of the Internet to mobile phones. Based on an open widget architecture, developers and content authors can easily repurpose existing content and build new applications that are then deployed using the iBrowz server, which is hosted by intouch group. Users then “sync” their mobile devices to the server Developers can also create “live” widget, which access content directly from their own servers.

Managed Service with Native Client

With iBrowz users get an up-to-date, cached version of their content, which they can view off line with excellent performance. The iBrowz client is intuitive and very easy to use so users are always 2-clicks away from the information they need.

Similarly, iBrowz partners have the tools they need to build their business effectively. Mobile operators can limit the times in which specific users access their data plans, in order to balance the load during network roll out. Content providers and distribution partners can leverage iBrowz’s targeted advertising system so that they can earn revenue from difficult to monetize assets.
