How To: A custom start page for your phone
Published by Rafe Blandford at 5:53 UTC, April 12th 2007
In How To Build Your Own Web Home Page Ewan describes how you can create a custom start page for your phone's web browser. Intended for novices this feature explains the basics of page construction and how to get the page set up on your phone.It’s all about speed – how fast can you get to the information you want on a mobile device? It may be your contacts, or the online directions to Tulsa, but the majority of the UI is geared to making sure you don’t have to do a lot to get anywhere. So, in the best spirit of MacGyver, I thought I’d illustrate this by hacking together a ‘launch’ page for your web browser. You can of course use Bookmarks, but putting everything on a web page does have its benefits.

Why do all this if you can just use Google Mobile Home (http://www.google.com/ig/mobile)?

It is a fair point thought there are advantages to having the page stored locally. My Google customised page is actually one of the links I include.

Well I think it's great tip, much better than having the bookmark page as your homepage, which becomes cluttered very quickly.
