Researchers at IBM have come up with a new software (http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20080712/tc_pcworld/148316;_ylt=AoaVoRsvHekUfpRVrvzPlff6VbIF) program called Highlight that has the potential to make it much easier for mobile web browsers to complete tasks from their cell phones. "Highlight lets users record the steps required to perform a simple task on the Web, say looking up flight arrival information on a Web site. Users can "clip" sections from a Web site and then save them on another Web server, which then serves the slimmed-down pages to the mobile device."
This would allow mobile web users to easily navigate sites that might otherwise be difficult to use on a limited mobile phone. The same service could theoretically be used by consumers who want to create more personalized versions of their favorite web pages for easy browsing and navigation on their mobile phones.
Unfortunately, the software has not yet been released and may not actually come to market due to problems including the fact that some web sites don t want their content copied onto other servers. If demand for the product is high, researchers may push for its release.
