Hello Everyone,

Do you wish your favorite websites had a mobile friendly version that you could use on your mobile phone? 

Even though mobile devices are outnumbering computers and are able to browse the web, many websites do not have a mobile friendly version available. 

Viewing a standard resolution, graphics-heavy site on your mobile phone is often not a satisfying experience as it will most likely take a very long time to download, display, and navigate.

Luckily, there is a free online utility that can convert a standard website into a mobile friendly version without the website owner having to do anything to the site.

Thus, until your favorites sites have been updated so as to automatically detect a mobile phone connection that will signal the site to beam over a mobile optimized version, you may use a rather nifty service from Google to convert the site for you.

Do I have your attention yet?  (Smile) Read the rest of this entry »
