[PilotMgr] OT: ProxiWeb

["Andreas S. Oesterhelt" <oes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

..just a short off-topic note on ProxiWeb, cause I'm completeley amazed:

ProxiWeb is a web browser for the palm that relies on a remote proxy
that does the retrieval and preprocessing of the web content.

All tags and data types (Java, JScript, etc) that the palm wouldn't
understand anyway are stripped, all graphics downsized and converted to
grayscale bitmaps, etc, so the pages load fast and display nice. Even
supports forms, ssl, cookies, etc.

Client software and account on public proxy are free.

I'm totally amazed how usable the web can be with 9600 baud via GSM on a
tiny palm display.

Kind regards,
--Andreas "forget WAP" Oesterhelt
