Somehow tonight I stumbled on something I've never heard of. It seems that Google has a page that will optimize any website for viewing on a mobile phone or PDA, similar to Skweezer and IYHY.
All you see when you load the page is what shows in the included graphic. No Google logo, no explanation, nothing. But simply enter a URL and you recieve a quick-loading mobile optimized version of the page you requested. You can choose NO IMAGES when you first load the page, or change your selection later.
Only after loading an optimized page do you see a selection at the bottom to go to Google Home. Best of all for mobile phone users, the selections for HIDE IMAGES, NEXT PAGE, and GOOGLE HOME are coded into a number key, so you can navigate through the page with the phone keypad.
The Google Mobile Optimizer (for lack of an official name as far as I can tell) can be found at http://www.google.com/gwt/n. Just point your mobile browser there, and start browsing.
