Zumobi is a nifty platform that brings tile-based browsing and widgets to Windows Mobile, and now BlackBerry, smartphones.  I actually just learned about it over on JKontheRun and am curious if it's one of those things that's neat looking but ultimately more trouble than its worth, or if it's actually a viable alternative to Web browsers for getting your mobile info fixes. 

The gallery at myZumobi shows a whole bunch of tiles spanning categories from News and Entertainment to Games & Humor and Kids, and now they've got a Wizard to let you create your own tiles based on RSS feeds.  It looks kind of cool - I'll have to dust off a BlackBerry and get in depth with this when I've got some free time (ha ha ... free time).  BlackBerryCool has an in-depth review of the service (with video walkthrough) in the meantime, and if you've used Zumobi yourself drop a comment and let us all know if it's worth it.  The service is free but your time isn't, right?
