Mobile browsing is nothing new. I did it on my gsm years ago, but it wasn't really very usable - these days a lot more is possible as mobile browsers have grown up and mobile devices offer color screens with good readibility. Lately I have been using a Nokia E61 and I am very satisfied : serious browsing is now very possible.

Someone has had the brilliant idea not to make optimal use of the screen on your mobile, but divide it into several pieces and browse in those : browsing in widgets :

Zenzui - The application that lets you surf over a 6×6 grid of website widgets by panning and zooming around the grid. Each of the widgets is a mobile optimized version of a website you interact with by zooming into it.

People, this is a joke. Okay it's inventive, but it is still a joke. How can you surf in tiny bits of a very small screen ??
Zenzui is backed by Microsoft.
