Again we’re talking about the Olympics and how companies are trying to take advantage of the summer games to grab some media attention. Today we bring you the story of two large companies, Lenovo and Intel, which have partnered to release a free mobile widget through Zumobi.
The cool widget showcases content from Lenovo’s “Voices” and “Olympic Podium” websites, to keep mobile users in touch with athletes and news coming in from Beijing.
Existing Zumobi fans will be delighted to know that the Olympics widget uses “Zumobi 4″ interface, an on-phone Tile gallery and has a smaller foot print for quicker movement. In addition, it’s the first Zumobi widget available for the iPhone.
Interested? You should be — it’s really cool. Hop over to lenovo.zumobi.com from a web browser on your mobile phone and take it from there…

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.
