Zumobi announced its latest release for Windows Mobile to deliver new features, content and functionality, as well as improved user experience.

ZumobiTouted as “one of the most compelling features of the new release”, Tile Wizard allows users to easily create their own Zumobi mobile widgets. Users can choose the look and feel of these widgets, stream data from RSS feeds, and ultimately turn their news sources (or blogs) into Zumobi Tiles. Once created, Tiles become a subject of sharing among other Zumobi users through the so called Tile Gallery.
