FROG (mobile homepage)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FROG is a free and customizable homepage for mobile devices with internet access, designed to provide direct access to fully operational mobile websites.
FROG utilizes a large collection of properly formatted mobile websites, specifically created to display properly on the small monitors of mobile devices. FROG is fully compatible with more than 200 different mobile devices, all of which have been tested to ensure predictable results. There is no software to be downloaded.
Users are able to register online and customize their setup using a personal computer or a mobile device. There are ten categories of links offered, including news, sports, entertainment, shopping, travel, mingle, money, library, e-tools, and locators.[1] Following customization, a link is emailed to the user, for use on the mobile device.[2] FROG is designed to work best on smartphones with QWERTY keyboards.[3]
In 2007, FROG was awarded a PDA Friendly Website award by the PDA/Pocket Friendly Portal Website.[4]
FROG is a service provided by applebox, a graphic design firm based in Northridge, California.[5]
