Today I would like to introduce Wand, an android app I currently developing.
What is Wand?
Wand is an application that convert web content into format that suitable for quick, mobile access.
There are three parts in Wand:
1. Target web site - web site contains information you want
2. Spell - a script contains magic that transform sites
3. Wand app - the android app
By using custom scripts (i'll call them
Spells) from a community site, wand convert ordinary web content into mobile web content like lists, text or simple html. Consider it a lesser greasemonkey for your mobile!
Why Wand?Why use Wand when we have super powerful mobile phone that have full power web browser? Because most web content are not designed for mobile.
Normal web on mobile:
Wand processed:
Whats More?Wand is not another news reader apps. It is designed for extension. By using simple XPath, everyone can create their own Spell (
example).
Oh, of cause we've got web 2.0 too: user can publish their script to
www.wandhub.com, for everyone!
What do you think about Wand? Do you have any idea make it more interesting? Please tell me here or at twitter

By the way,
Wand is still pre-alpha and not yet avalible. I will try to make it avaliable ASAP!
