What's the point?
 
In the Windows Mobile news this past week is an announcement that Microsoft will be including Zumobi with Windows Mobile, and I see the point. I've installed the beta for Zumobi on my T-Mobile Dash, and I fail to understand why someone would want the software. It provides a different way to browse through little applets, but it doesn't provide a way to actually browse your device. The software is a huge memory hog, requiring 10 MB to run, an almost impossibility on most Windows Mobile devices. I don't see how Zumobi makes browsing any easier and it doesn't include a compelling applet that makes it worth the memory hit.
