Mobile Surfing Made Easy

Do you find it difficult to navigate web pages on your mobile phone or PDA? Try these free services for easier browsing. The best part is that you don’t need to download anything – just enter the URL and within minutes you are ready to go.

Pocket optimized

This site (www.pocketoptimized.com/en) will show you a list of mobile-optimized websites. It has a page with links on various topics like finance, movies, games, travel etc. It also shows you the number of links available for each topic. When you click on these links they are perfectly displayed on your mobile phone, making navigation extremely easy. Now if you find a mobile-optimized site, you can add it to the list.


Tappity
Tappity (www.tappity.com) allows you to optimize your favorite sites for mobile phones. You can also decide the features that you would like to see in the links that show up. Tappity features mobile versions of popular sites like Flickr and Wikipedia. You can also track the latest news from top sites. This site requires you to register.

PDA Homepage
The links at www.pdahomepage.com are organized in four main categories – entertainment, search, shopping and e-mail. You can also search for information in the sub categories. It is also possible to bookmark your favorite sites in a particular category.

Skweezer
With Skweezer (www.skweezer.net), you can literally ‘skweeze’ your favorite web pages into three different formats – normal (it would appear as on a PC), PDA and text (essentially the PDA mode without images). Skweezer has an edge over the other services – here you can punch in the URL of any site you wish and it will automatically get squeezed for perfect mobile viewing. This service can be used without registration, but if you do register, you get to save all your links in the favorites section.
