The first thing we did when we entered mobile in 2004 was build an RSS reader for 'dumb' phones. It was the perfect way to bring information to very limited phones. All the extra stuff was stripped away, just the content remained. The phone could handle it in a way that the WAP browsers would fail.
It is hard to see the value, beyond advertising / affiliate sales, to just about anything that has been added to the modern web experience since that time. I still use 'reader mode' on Safari to bring it back to the basics.
