You can also get sports scores for your favorite (US-based) teams, weather, stock quotes, etc. And you can manage your site from your desktop at www.keytoss.com.</em>"</p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/spt/auto/1220015103.usr251.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mobile data is great to have, but while some sites either scale nicely or offer a seperate mobile version, others can crash your browser as you see "heavy" entry pages.&nbsp; A mobile portal is a convenient way to be able to pull frequently requested data into one location.&nbsp; Speaking of location, KeyToss will access location-aware data without requiring GPS so you won't have to re-enter a zipcode on some sites.&nbsp; <a href="http://wapreview.com/blog/?p=748">WapReview</a> compared it very favorably to iGoogle.&nbsp; You can check out a <a href="http://www.keytoss.com/">desktop representation</a> or visit the site directly on your smartphone or other mobile device at <a href="http://m.keytoss.com">http://m.keytoss.com</a>.&nbsp; For those that use a mobile portal, does KeyToss offer enough unique features for you to switch?</p>
