How to Use Skweezer

Skweezer is a mobile browser that allows web content to be resized and compressed to make them viewable on handheld devices such as mobile phones ans personal digital assistants or PDA's. What Skweezer does is that it reformats and them compresses web content to reduce the file size of the web page and making it easier to view on a smaller screen.

Web Browsing Concerns

Most websites today are designed for viewing on personal computers and laptops which may enjoy the advantage of having more powerful specs than most handhelds today. But when the same websites are viewed from portable digital gadgets and mobile phones with lesser capabilities and specs, problems may arise. The pages won't display just as well as they would on desktops. Some websites would become too cluttered to be viewable on mobile phones. It is necessary that these websites either be resized for mobile phone use or have websites designed catering solely for the highly mobile handhelds of today.

How Skweezer Works

Skweezer makes it possible for mobile users to have websites displayed on the relatively smaller screens of their handy handhelds by reformatting them and making them ideal for mobile phone viewing. This is especially valuable for mobile phone users who wish to browse websites that do not have mobile-friendly versions.

Using Skweezer

In order for mobile phone users to use Skweezer, they should direct their mobile web browser to its website. Mobile users would then be directed to a simple mobile friendly menu where they may be able to use the site's search engine for websites that are designed for mobile phone viewing. Typing the right keywords would display relevant sites for mobile phone viewing.

For people who know the website they want to go to, they can simply type in the web address of the website on the search box and Skweezer will automatically provide you with a reformatted view of the site on your mobile phone. The reformatted version would be able to provide you with the main content of the site minus the images which might prove to large for viewing on your mobile phone screen.
