AT&T has developed its own mobile browser, providing customers three windows to the Web. From the homepage, users can easily browse the global Internet as well as assign bookmarks and shortcuts or set other preferences so they have quick access to their favorite content.
A second window gives users location-aware local news and weather; one-click results for nearby restaurants, nightlife venues, ATMs and other points of interest; and access to maps, driving directions and traffic information.
A third window delivers the latest headlines from popular news, sports and entertainment sites.
Additionally, customers accessing att.net from their PC can customize their mobile att.net page by sending shortcuts to popular Web sites through a "Send to Mobile" feature.
"The new browser powering the att.net service brings the best of the open Web to consumer feature phones while making the mainstay of the mobile Web easy to find and also delivering local tools and bookmarking management," says Ted Woodbery, vice president of Wireless Data, Voice and Ancillary Products for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.
The custom browser suggests one way service providers can optimize mobile Web experiences for users by making navigation easier. AT&T also is introducing new phones late this fall, including the Samsung "Flight," which features both a touchscreen and a QWERTY keypad.
