Microsoft Brings Twitter And Facebook To The Emerging World With OneApp

Here in the U.S. (and especially in San Francisco), it's easy to forget that most of the world doesn't have iPhones, BlackBerrys, Android phones, and the like. Much of the world doesn't even have access to them, and if they did, they are often way too expensive to actually get one. Should those people be without mobile access to services like Twitter and Facebook? Microsoft doesn't think so. Today, it is launching OneApp , an app for people running J2ME on their phones with slow processors and not a lot of memory. Basically, it's a lightweight app that lets you run more intensive apps by grabbing just the basics of that app that you need. And OneApp also offloads some of the processes required to use the larger apps to Microsoft servers, which handle it over the cloud.
