Mozilla Labs connects Firefox with mobile phones

Mozilla Labs has announced the release of the project “Joey”, an “open-source” application that converts web content for later viewing on mobile phones. Readers of Mobile Content already know about Joey, but with the release of the project, more detailed information appeared on the purpose and operation of the program. “The Joey project brings the most needed web content to the screens of your mobile phone, offering an easy way to send content to your phone,” said Doug Turner, project developer, in one of the Mozilla Labs blog posts, “ You will be able to mark the web content you need and always have access to it from your mobile phone. ”

"Joey" consists of Joey Server, an add-on for the PC browser of Firefox, and a Java midlet (a midlet is a small program written in Java and running on phones with Java ME, that is, on the vast majority of modern phones), which allows you to forward data from firefox to mobile phone. The goal of the project is to increase the comfort level of viewing web content on mobile phones by reducing the amount of data sent to the phone and solving the formatting problems that appear when transferring content created for the PC to small mobile phone screens.

Using Joey Server, a Firefox user can, for example, send text, images, videos, RSS feeds and “Live Bookmarks” to your phone. Manage and view the content sent to the phone, you can either through the phone's browser, or using the Joey program itself.
