Transformation of Popular Web-Portal for Mobile Service :: 2008/05/09 20:07
As I mentioned, full browsing service for mobile internet is attracting many korean users after LGT launched OZ service. Full browsing service enables many users to connect to usual web pages with mobile handsets. However, some guys point out that, because usual Korean portal put too many contents including picture and text on an independant web page, usual web pages are not proper for mobile service.
Thus, popular web-portals started to transform their service for mobile service. Naver, the biggest korean portal, has already provided the simple edition of its initial page. The simple edition of Naver looks like the initial page of Google. The initial page of Naver SE excludes unnecessary pictures and text and includes just only a blank input box for search like Google. It is very effective and efficient for mobile web browsing service.

Another popular portal, Daum is also preparing for a new simple web page for mobile service. Daum announced that it will launch a simple service including popular contents for mobile service in May. I think these transformations of popular web-portals are very positive signals for expanding mobile data service in Korea.
