The portal uses dynamic mobile transcoding technology to optimize the content taken from AOL’s website according to the user’s phone. Tabbed navigation and intuitive menus have also been provided for easy navigation without having to click repeatedly. According to the company, the portal has been designed to recognize and remember user favorites and makes it possible to log in just once to the user’s email account and have continuous access for 30 days without having to sign in again.
