[…] As noted last week, a group of startups promoting themselves at Mobile 2.0. Part 1 was in the morning. Here now is the afternoon session (note it was just 5 minutes per speaker, so we only got brief overviews of each service). Webwag Mobile We’ve written before about Webwag, a personalized start page. Webwag Mobile is a Java app. It looks very much like a desktop widget service (like Yahoo! Widgets). Certainly looked slick and the ability to sync with the Internet version is useful for heavy Mobile Web users. The TomSoft blog has more details of Webwag Mobile. RuleSpace RuleSpace isn’t a startup, it’s an 11-year company. It calls itself a "content categorization" company, which analyzes what users are looking at.

Of course, I am not any more objective as we (Webwag) also have a mobile widget engine. I believe that Widget will be the equivalent of “Web2.0″ app for mobile: adapted to small screen size, solving in an elegant way the portability issue, providing real interest for the end user it’s certain that this kind of application will become more frequent in the future months.
