The latest version of Greenlight Wireless' award-winning Skweezer service makes mobile Internet access faster and easier than ever.
IRVINE, Calif., June 18, 2007—Greenlight Wireless today announced the release of Skweezer 4.0, the latest incarnation of its free service that optimizes desktop Web content for mobile devices, such as cell phones and PDAs.
Skweezer has been updated from top to bottom with one goal in mind: to get users to the content they're looking for as quickly as possible. To that end, the user interface has been redesigned to reduce keystrokes and take advantage of "hot key" navigation that utilizes a phone's keypad. Skweezer will now also use a robust, new search system to provide highly relevant Web searches across multiple mobile device platforms. Skweezer's code-base and hosting infrastructure have been updated to provide the fastest Skweezer ever.And to help mark this special occasion, Mark Sieve, President of Greenlight Wireless, has a couple of T-shirts for us to giveaway. For a chance to win, be a registered member of our site and post a comment here regarding one (or more) of their new features that you appreciate. At the end of the week, we will choose two posters at random, so post away! Click here for a link to the official press release and details of their new features! |

Skweezer has optimized 150 million desktop Web pages for mobile users around the world.QUOTE IRVINE, Calif., June 4, 2007—Greenlight Wireless' Skweezer service, which optimizes desktop Web content and searches for mobile devices, has reached a milestone by serving its 150 millionth Web page. Skweezer has been mobilizing Web content since 2003, initially on the Skweezer portal at www.skweezer.net and later through search engine and wireless operator customers who use "white label" versions of the technology. Serving this level of traffic has allowed Greenlight Wireless to accumulate a very robust database of search terms, page content, and aggregated viewing behavior that continually helps the company organize and provide relevant desktop content to mobile users. Skweezer currently serves seven to eight million pages monthly, however this number is expected to grow significantly as several large-scale private label implementations currently in development become active in Q307. Skweezer currently has users in over 175 countries and is translated into six languages. Skweezer is a free service that optimizes Web pages and searches for use on PDAs and cell phones. Skweezer compresses and reformats content being downloaded, so that it loads faster, looks better, and is easier to navigate. The service includes an e-mail client, RSS reader, address book, site directory, and other useful features designed specifically for the mobile environment. Skweezer is completely platform-independent and can be accessed from Pocket PC, Palm, MS Smartphone, Blackberry, Symbian, PSP2, and WAP 2.0 compliant devices. It's great to hear continued success from one of our earliest supporters. I have utilized their service many a time when I found myself to be in an area with poor data reception and Skweezer just plain works! They are currently testing their Beta 4.0 release and I can expect nothing more than continued success. Click here for complete press release. |

BTW: the "wmupgrade" page hasn't been updated yet with a link to the Dash upgrade and the link within customer's Dash support page comes up with an error. The correct link for the meantime is located here: http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter...fm?selDevice=27- followed by clicking the "click here" link located on that page. |

After getting things to settle down in my mind about the iPhone, I have this take on it: The success of this device is inevitable...for the consumer market. I can't see this really doing well to cross into enterprise because of what Michael Gartenberg has already said about the iPhone: QUOTE It's not extensible by third parties, only Apple. The means at the moment no RSS readers, no Slingplayers"; and "There is no support for Microsoft Office attachments." While Safari on the Mac is a great browser, Outlook Web Access isn't handled very well - I usually revert to Outlook Mobile Access. What really gets me is that Steve Jobs said (and as it says on Apple's site) is that the iPhone is running OS X, yet it's abilities are limited - that is both good and bad. Gartenberg has already said the bad. The good is that Apple's limiting the focus of the device's capabilities so that they can do it well. This has worked for the iPod and what it has evolved into. This has also worked for the evolution of RIM's Blackberry and for Danger's Sidekick. RIM has an enterprise audience that it caters to and Danger has the consumer audience. Therefore, I really believe the iPhone is the Sidekick killer. Everything they've mentioned meets and surpasses everything the Sidekick does. Can you see Paris and Snoop with iPhones now! The only attack I can see having been made is against the keyboards of Palm, RIM and Windows Mobile. On screen touch keyboards isn't new - I've used Spb's on my imate JAM, at least it was in landscape - and it also had auto word completetion... So what is it with OS X? Is there a code name for this flavor of it? Is it upgradeable? 4Gb/8Gb...how much of it is user accessible? Although it has been said it is not extensible by 3rd parties, does this go for the Widgets too? There are a whole bunch of 3rd party Widgets I'd want to put on it - the Low Price Gas Finder Widget would be 1st on my list! Windows Mobile devices will probably be attacked as a "Jack of all trades, yet master of none." And expect Apple to be praised as starting out right by doing what it says it can do - and doing it well. However, what cannot be denied is that Windows Mobile still has an edge in enterprise, industrial application, 3rd party development - heck, we can throw Palm in the mix here too. There are already WM devices w/GPS, 2Gb drives + Expansion ports out on the market already (HP)...PCs are getting smaller and some coming with GSM ports (Sony)...WM Smartphones are improving (HTC, Motorola, Samsung) - the evolution/convergence is coming. Will I get one? Only if it can be unlocked! But I can easily see it would be my second phone and not my primary since my Dash syncs up with Exchange, or my Wizard or Universal should I need to do some server administration - which in my line of work, takes priority over songs and video. |

Hi everyone! Okay, this isn't a "Pimp My Device: The Software Edition" like you've seen anywhere else! Looking to give you beloved device a new look? Well, look no further as Dr. Kei comes to the rescue! Take a look at my HTC Universal (AKA: i-mate JASJAR) with Kustom Gel Skinz and my HTC Wizard (AKA: i-mate K-JAM/T-Mobile MDA) that's undergone a Kolorswap with Gel Skinz and Gel Keys: All the work done on my devices were done by a local vendor from Richmond, CA, Kelvin Liu, AKA: Dr. Kei who does custom case and skin designing for cell phones - he is best known for his original handmade designs made for the Danger's Hiptop (BKA: the T-Mobile Sidekick) for celebrities like model Vida Guerra as well as rapper and host of MTV's Pimp My Ride, Xzibit. Yes, I said handmade! - more photos and details of the quality can be found on my blog at Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine. |

You'll have better results streaming with Orb if you hack the registry to use TCPMP Media Player instead: http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/blog/reydi...hp?showentry=78- although this was on the Wizard, I haven't tried doing the similar hack to the Typhoon... |

QUOTE (mmeee @ Oct 16 2006, 02:06 PM) anyone know how fast it is compared to the treo 700w... i know the treo700w has a bigger processor...
the review mentioned that its pretty fast.. Is it faster then 2125/3125/mda/sda/?? that is the only thing i hate about the current smartphone except 700w.. Well, janak wasn't able to use it on the T-Mo network, but judging that it has the latest version of the OS I would expect improved performance to the SDA/2125. |

Janak Parekh, from PocketPCThoughts.com makes another appearance on SmartphoneThoughts.com and has posted an appetite whetting review of the next T-Mobile Windows Smartphone due for release on 10/25: QUOTE Conclusions My two gripes aside, I really, really like this device. If I was living in good T-Mobile coverage, I'd be sorely tempted to switch. It's not necessarily the flashiest or most insanely powerful Windows Mobile device on the market, but it matches an excellent feature set with a fantastic form factor. The unit fits so comfortably in your hand, the screen is to die for, the thumbboard is solid, the unit's WiFi works seamlessly, and the device just feels well-executed from start to finish. Alas, I'm going back to my brick of a 700w and its correspondingly expensive Verizon service. I'd never have called it a brick before now, but that just goes to show you what a svelte little Smartphone the Dash is. If you walk past a T-Mobile store starting on October 25, do me a favor -- walk in, hold it in your hand for a few seconds, and let me know what you think. I think you'll have the exact same response I did. Check out the full review with pics here: http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/articles...dont_paginate,1 |

Our good friend, Mark Sieve, at Greenlight Wireless had some great news to pass along for us to share with you! Ask Mobile Search integrates Skweezer technology to optimize search experience. IRVINE, Calif., October 12, 2006—Greenlight Wireless Corporation announced that its Skweezer technology, which optimizes Web content for mobile devices, has been integrated into the new Ask Mobile (http://mobile.ask.com) which was launched today. Ask Mobile users who click on a search result, or any other link that leaves the site, access an optimized version of the target Web page created by Skweezer. Skweezer's proprietary compression algorithms, developed and refined over the past five years, significantly reduce Web content typically to 15% or less of its original file size. This allows Web pages to load much more quickly and has the added benefit of greatly reducing bandwidth requirements. Web pages viewed through Skweezer are also intelligently reformatted, providing intuitive and convenient access to content from a small-screen device. Click here for the entire press release.- it's always good to see some of the successes of our partners! |

IRVINE, Calif., September 22, 2006—Greenlight Wireless Corporation announced that its Skweezer technology, which optimizes Web content for mobile devices, has been integrated into the mobile version of Bloglines (www.bloglines.com), the world’s number one online RSS aggregator. Bloglines Mobile (mobile.bloglines.com) users now view "skweezed" versions of the Web pages they access through their favorite RSS feeds. This allows Bloglines to both accelerate download speeds and present content that is easier to view and navigate on the small displays found on cell phones and PDAs. With the Skweezer technology, Bloglines also provides mobile access to more content than ever before by using Skweezer's paging feature, which allows Web pages to load that would otherwise be too memory-intensive for most devices. "The Skweezer technology provides a significantly improved experience for Bloglines Mobile users by speeding download time and optimizing content for small mobile displays," said Robyn DeuPree, Sr. Product Manager for Bloglines, a division of Ask.com. "Our Bloglines Mobile users love the current product, and the Skweezer technology makes the experience even better." "Bloglines is the industry-leading RSS reader with a proven history of innovation," says Joey Lynch, VP of Business Development at Greenlight Wireless. "Once again Bloglines has taken a leadership position in the mobile RSS space and we're very pleased to be contributing to this effort." Click here to read the full press release. |

Social networking sites like MySpace are now among the most frequently visited by Skweezer users. IRVINE, Calif., August 21, 2006—Skweezer users are visiting social networking sites with increasing frequency, displacing traditional Web portals and search engines among the list of most visited sites. According to Greenlight Wireless, MySpace is the first social networking site to appear among the top five most highly visited sites by Skweezer's mobile users, which was determined by a weekly traffic report generated for the first week of August. Similar sites that allow users to share information and meet online, such as Flickr, del.icio.us, and Friendster, have also experienced rapid uptake by Skweezer users in recent months. As a result of the growing popularity of link sharing services, Skweezer has a new feature that allows users to save browsing favorites to del.icio.us, Furl, Simpy or BlinkList from their cell phone or PDA. "In the last quarter, we've partnered with a number of search, bookmarking, RSS, and shared media sites to mobile-enable their content," says Kevin Perkins, CEO of Greenlight Wireless. "When combined with Advertizer, our mobile advertising solution, these social networks can now effectively monetize their free content onto the third screen." Skweezer is a free service that optimizes Web pages, searches, and e-mail for use on PDAs and cell phones. Mobile Internet users access Skweezer by visiting www.skweezer.net, then use the portal as a "wireless gateway" to browse and search the Web. Skweezer compresses and reformats content being downloaded, so that it loads faster, looks better, and is easier to navigate. Skweezer includes an e-mail client, RSS reader, address book, site directory, and other useful features designed specifically for the mobile environment. Skweezer is also completely platform independent and can be accessed from Pocket PC, Palm, MS Smartphone, Blackberry, Symbian, PSP2, and WAP 2.0 compliant devices.

Thou art in the land down under! And my ever-so-mobile buddy Jenneth has a quick review up on The Age! QUOTE HP's previous attempts at smartphones have never really captured the market the way its PDAs have. However the iPAQ rw6828 could see the company's fortunes improve, putting it in the same league as BlackBerry, i-mate and O2. Hmmm, at $995AUD, that'd be a painful bite in the wallet. But if it ever makes it over on this side of the world, this'd be one device worth getting, if subsidized by a carrier Read the hole post here: http://www.theage.com.au/news/reviews/hp-i...4198318787.html |

QUOTE (mibeje @ Aug 1 2006, 10:21 AM) Can I use this with Cingular 8125?. Thanks You would have to have your device both SIM and CID unlocked to give it a try - but as with any other ROM upgrade, you risk bricking your device. Just as a reminder, your original ROM is available here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/cingular..._downloads.html |

QUOTE (puglia @ Jul 31 2006, 01:41 PM) OK heres the question. I am trying to start a distribution Co. I can get all the phones I need Unlocked and Unbranded. I need to know what type of equipment/software that i need to buy to program operator WAP & MMS settings into multiple phones at once. For instance... lets say I have purchased a lot of 2000 NOKIA 6102's and 1000 Motorola V3's and I need to program all of those phones to Cingulars settings before I ship them out to the dealers who have ordered them. Is there equipment and software i can buy that will allow me to program those phones quickly(there has to be a way) or do i have to hire ppl to program each phone individually(i really hope not!!!). I dont care if I have to buy different equipment /software for different makes of phones. But I could really use some help in this matter. Thanks I know that T-Mobile actually has the settings already embedded onto their latest SIM cards (I had popped mine into my Gizmondo that was manually set for Cingular previously and then went to make the manual changes, only to find that the T-Mo settings had automaticallly taken over). Now if you are going to "Clone" WM devices (which would need the settings manually entered), then you might want to consider Sprite Clone. |

QUOTE (Slacker @ Jul 30 2006, 04:48 PM) Interesting. I set mine back to WAP.voicestream.com and it connects to my Exchange server via HTTPS. Interesting because that never worked before. - yeah, T-mo activated connecting via wap.voicestream.com quite awhile ago and it was Ed Hansberry who clued me in on that change. Up to last November, I was still switching between internet2 and internet3, but Ed has said he was able to swtich over to wap in 2004. All my devices work fine on wap.voicestream.com and I haven't had to switch back since. |
