"According to the company, auto-conversion of RSS content will make mobile syndication easier and more readily available and by delivering multimedia feeds rather than short, text-only feeds subscribers will be more fully engaged in the content. Also, with RSS to MMS technology, the feed can be viewed without a subscriber first logging onto a mobile web site or launching a feed reader application. Instead, subscribers are alerted on receipt of the feed and can view it immediately or whenever most convenient since it’s stored in their messaging in-box."
What I like about RSS feeds is that it does its job. It delivers simple quick news stories for quick reading. What I don't like is that it's boring and I often wish I could have just a little bit more. Well it sounds like Cellyspace is trying to fix both of these problems. Their tool will automatically convert and deliver syndicated RSS feeds directly to mobile subscribers’ messaging in-boxes. Converted content is presented in a slideshow format including up to eight slides with an image. I think it sounds cool and hopefully RSS feeds will give our eyes more than just something to read!
