Granted, widgets for selling content for your mobile phone like ringtones and wallpapers aren’t exactly new — StartMobile, for example, announced a similar widget more than a year ago. But FunMobility has added some features that should make its widget particularly attractive to publishers. For one thing, it can be branded and customized — see, for example, the mock-up of a VentureBeat-branded widget below. The content is divided into 20 channels, including celebrities, travel, politics and sports. So there’s a good chance there will be something that’s particularly relevant to your readers. And it’s free for the publisher, while adding to their revenue on either a per-click or a per-impression basis.

But Pleasonton, Calif.-based FunMobility seems to know what its doing, having served more than 1.2 billion pieces of content since 2001.
