Skweezer Makes Holiday Wireless Toys User-Friendly

This holiday season, an estimated 48 million people worldwide received Internet-ready portable devices as gifts. Many of these new PDA and Smartphone users, however, will be disappointed when they try to browse the Web for the first time with their new gadgets, due to slow wireless connections and content that is difficult to view and navigate on a small display. Skweezer is a free online service that alleviates these common problems.

Skweezer is a Web portal that optimizes Web pages, searches, and e-mail for use on PDA's and cell phones. Mobile Internet users access Skweezer by visiting www.skweezer.net, then using the portal as a “wireless gateway” to browse and search the Web. Skweezer compresses and reformats content being downloaded to the user’s device, so that it loads faster, looks better, and is easier to navigate. Since the Skweezer portal dramatically reduces a file’s size before it’s sent to the device, users who pay wireless data charges on a “per-kilobit” basis save money when they use Skweezer.

Skweezer users can personalize their service by creating a free Skweezer account, which provides the ability to save and import browsing favorites, access Plaxo contacts, and set up a customizable Skweezer Home Page. Skweezer Mail, Greenlight Wireless’ popular mobile e-mail solution, is also included with a free personalized account. Skweezer Mail allows users to access an unlimited number of POP3 mail accounts and utilizes Skweezer’s optimization technology, so messages have reduced file sizes and are faster to send and receive.

Skweezer Pro is an “ad-free” service that includes unlimited e-mail customer support and is available for $14.99USD annually.
