Zumobi For BlackBerry – Win $50 Amazon Gift Certificate

zumobiI have been holding off on this bit of news since I could not get Zumobi to work or even the download website to work. I keep on getting Proxy 502 errors. On the other hand I did manage to finally get it to install through this link OTA.

For now I will ignore that since the Zumobi application looks quite promising. It creates what they call tiles out of news and makes news quite digestible on your BlackBerry. I am not sure how this will compete against a real news source such as Viigo or Freerange. On the other hand you can create one of their “Tiles” out of any RSS feed so it is essentially just a new more visually pleasing spin on a RSS feed reader.

If you really want to score something out of the Zumobi launch you should sign up for the contest  at BlackBerryCool where they are giving away ten $50 Amazon Gift Certificates!

You can check out the Zumobi features on their website www.zumobi.com. Once their servers are back to working order you should be able to signup and install the software from this link.

    Anyone tried this out? Love it? Hate it?

    From what I hear people are not that impressed. But that is all second hand…

    I could not get this to work on my VZW CUrve 8330. And in looking at their support forums on their website, would seem that I’m not the only one.

    Does anyone know anyone (beyond a Zumobi salesman) that actually uses this software?

    I tried downloading it to my BBCurve and nothing… just the icon. I’m passing on this for now. But the site looks promising. I HOPE.
