It’s great to see Skweezer continuing to forge ahead as a leading mobile
portal to the Internet. It not only offers great search capability, but also
dynamically reformats every Web page you look at so that it fits the small
screen of your device. And it’s free.
Yesterday saw the launch of Skweezer 4.0. According to the press release, it’s been updated “from top to bottom with one goal in mind: to get users to the content they're looking for as quickly as possible.” The user interface has been redesigned to reduce keystrokes and take advantage of "hot key" navigation that utilizes a phone's keypad. One especially helpful and innovative new feature is "find in page," which allows you to quickly jump to specific content within a web page. When you do a search and click on a result, a link will appear at the top of the destination web page that conveniently allows you to search for your term within that page. Other new features include search results from multiple search engines,
with the final results selected on a case-by-case basis, determined by your
device type, location, and other factors. Also, improved handling of those
facets of web sites that often are troublesome on mobile devices, such as
frames, forms, and scripts. |
