Introducing Mobile-Speed.com

[Guest exosyphen]

Greetings everyone,

Mobile-Speed is a service designed to compress the data which you transfer over a mobile internet connection (such as : CSD,GPRS,EDGE,CDMA,WiFi,etc), thus increasing the transfer speed and effectively reducing your costs, by reducing the time you spend online or the amount of data you transfer.

Mobile-Speed will compress HTML pages you surf. It won't affect the quality of the page or the way it's displayed.

Opposed to other similar services, we compress data, and not cut of images or page elements to achieve performance. There will be no difference in using our service, in terms of surfing experience.

It sounds like OnSpeed

Doesn't Opera's "speed up thingy" do this too? Or is that based on reducing the HTML to what the browser can support?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Opera's web accelerator thingy compresses web pages and excludes certain content.

Presumably code/content that the phone can't handle.

[Guest chucky.egg]

Yeah, and it only works with Opera AFAIK

OnSpeed only supports PocketPC (and others, but not Smartphone)

Anyways, these guys have put me on the beta programme, and after a couple of niggles I'm hoping the latest email they've sent contains the answer.

Anything that decreases the amount I spend on GPRS, or the amount of time I spend waiting for pages to load, has got to be a good thing.

Hi there, you mentioned originally when you first beta'ed your service that it would not work with things like Activesync OTA.

Is this still the case or can me get our mobile emails etc compressed as well :?:

[Guest exosyphen]

Opposed to OnSpeed and Opera Accelerator (which only reduce image quality) our service actually compress HTML pages served to your browser, without cutting stuff out.

New options that will come soon :

- Image quality reduction for extra speed

- Compression for stuff other then browsing (currently, Mobile-Speed only compresses traffic for HTML surfers).

From personal tests and logs of what users have achieved, traffic is reduced by up to 70% (speed is increased proportionally).

Example : a 10Kb page becomes 3Kb

not bad for a beta ;-)

[Guest scottishdave]

All the more reason for Orange to roll out a 3G SPV. :D

GPRS Sucks (for browsing that is).

[Guest exosyphen]

And Mobile Speed :

is now available for free for everyone!

Enjoy!

[Guest Mr.Clark]

So is this any different/better than using the Opera Web Accelerator? Can you use them together?

Is it worth it for an Opera user?

Cheers ;)

Why don't you try and see, and then let us all know?
