Browsers In Your Hand

Tim Hillebrand did a terrific piece on Pocket PC Browsers for Treo 700w that is well worth the read. 

Surfing the Web on a small handheld device is perhaps not the most satisfying experience. This is especially true when you have to scroll back and forth to view a Web page not optimized for a small screen.

Some popular sites, such as TreoCentral itself have small screen optimized versions. Occasionally, but rarely, you can pull up the optimized version by appending "/mobile" to the end of the URL. Smartphone and Pocket PC magazine has compiled a comprehensive list of mobile oriented sites optimized for the small screen.

In an ideal world, the Internet police would require the optimization of all Websites for small screen viewing. But, that probably won't happen any time soon. Instead, let's explore the alternative browsers available.

If you use your handheld to browse the web, regardless of what you use, Tim's article will offer insight on how you can improve your ability to Experience Mobility.
