Using the internet on some smart phones is a breeze. On others it’s a bit of a challenge. If your phone is one where you need information from the web but it’s a pain to access sites on the web you’ll want to take a look at this project from Mozilla Labs.

While using Firefox you can flag content, directions, information from websites you’ll want at work, cool pictures to show your friends and then you send it to your phone.

From your phone you can use a browser or download Joey’s phone application and access the information.

I have not tried this out, getting to the web is easy on the Treo. I have friends whose phones have net access but it is difficult to bookmark, type in urls etc and those smart phones are the ones likely to find this application most useful.
