Mobile access to Digg
Update: I've added the main digg feeds to News Feeds, so you can now read the main news from a mobile phone without the B1TE client. You have to go to digg's site (via the news entry) if you want to vote or read the sub sections.
Digg is a user-submitted / user-voted news service. It's supposedly got over 400.000 registered users and has been up since end of 2004. It's even got a Wikipedia entry, which indicates it's become somewhat of a phenomenon.
B1TE has now released a free Java application that gives access to the Digg service from mobile phones. I tried to download it, but my phone didn't like the page content for some reason.
Surely a Digg gateway could have been done using WAP too, but according to the site they do data compression, and caching in the device. Likely also a Java application provides a better user experience through quicker browsing through news etc.
