Digg Java MobileUsers of the popular Digg site would be happy to know that they can now access Digg from their cellphone. Digg Java Mobile is a free extension of the popular social news site.

Highlights:

  • Story filtering based on Digg categories.
  • It’s fast – stories are compressed before being sent to the device, reducing traffic cost by around 80%. Plus, stories are cached on the device to speed up user experience.
  • Users can either view stories immediately on their mobile device, or bookmark the story.
  • Digg Java Mobile works on 790+ devices.

The mobile Digg application is still at an early stage, but it’s working perfectly as far as I can tell. Digg users will certainly like to give it a try.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
