Portals/PDA

MobileTopSoft (pda.mobiletopsoft.com) Huge (over 800 sites) portal of mobile friendly sites. Browse by categories and site language. Registered users can add sites and create a personal links page. The site tracks the hits each link gets so you can sort by popularity. The screenshot shows the top 15 English sites by popularity. I was surprised by the popularity of financial sites. MobileTopSoft also has a page of mostly news and sports Windows Mobile streaming video sites from around the world.

Technology/Mobile

Opera Mini Bookmarklets (o.yeswap.com) Based on a suggestion from Opera Mini Forum member gonsa12, I’ve updated my page of bookmarklets for Opera Mini with a new one for Bloglines. Follow the instructions on the page to add the bookmarklet to Opera Mini. Then when you are browsing, if the page you are on has a feed, you can add it to your Bloglines subscriptions right from within Opera Mini with just a couple of clicks. The combination of Opera Mini and Bloglines Mobile is the best way to read RSS feeds on a phone. Read all about bookmarklets in Opera Mini and why in this post.
