Greenlight Releases New Skweezer, With More Compression
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"Greenlight Wireless Corporation today announced the release of a new version of its popular Skweezer® portal, which optimizes Web pages, searches, and e-mail for use on PDA’s and cell phones. Skweezer is both a mobile-optimized browser and a fully functional Web portal, which includes an e-mail client, contacts list, RSS reader, and other useful features. In this latest incarnation, Skweezer's compression and optimization technology has been extensively redesigned to make Web content download faster than ever. For example, a sample page from the eBay Web site has a 238 Kb file size and in testing took an average of 192 seconds to download over a standard GPRS connection. The new version of Skweezer compresses this Web page to 16 Kb and loads it over the same wireless connection in 12 seconds, 4 seconds faster than the previous version of Skweezer. This same page from eBay loads in only 3 seconds with the images tuned off in the new Skweezer."
There are also some small UI improvements. Sounds like a nice improvement; have any of you regular Skweezer users tried it?
