Zumobi was awarded top honor in the CTIA Emerging Technology (E-Tech) Awards in the Consumer Mobile Widgets category at CTIA Wireless 2008. Zumobi’s open mobile widget platform is free and supported by advertising.

“We are thrilled that Zumobi has seen such success at Spring CTIA 2008, and are equally proud to be recognized at the same event we launched at a year ago,” said Eric Hertz, CEO of Zumobi. “We’ve seen tremendous interest in Zumobi at the show from a broad range of business partners, and are honored to be acknowledged for our product. Zumobi is looking forward to continuing product innovation with the upcoming application release that will support a range of J2ME/Blackberry devices.”

Zumobi’s widget allows users to retrieve and share Web-based content on their mobile phones through an interface that allows users to “bounce” in and out of snack-sized bits of entertainment and information they want to see. At the same time, advertisers are able to easily connect with users through their mobile phones. Zumobi offers content from a broad range of widgets from content providers on a wide range of interests. If you are interested in politics, entertainment, restaurant reviews or sports, Zumobi covers it.
