Came across an interesting portal that like the name indicates squeezes and formats every website for your PDA and mobile phone screen. Just browse to it and enter your destination site:
www.skweezer.com
More info from the developer: http://www.greenlightwireless.net/skweezer/
Enjoy!
Yup, Skweezer is great.
I also recommend my articles written on it and the alternatives (there're, in some respects, even better and superior alternatives; for example, Toonel); please see my previous articles (search for the word 'Skweezer' to find them).
Hello,
So, is there out any RSS reader for WM which really shows full articles.
I've tried a lot of them , SPB Insight,BeyondPod,News Break , etc. and everyone had that ugly link on a bottom "click here to read whole article".
So, I need some RSS reader which will download FULL article , not only a first section of article , because then i need to click on a link, then internet browser opens , and loading whole site where is rss feed...slowly....
Thank You!
I've only used a few, but I'm quite sure any reader you use is going to limit the article somewhere along the line. It prevents your phone from being loaded up on articles you don't want.
Well they can prevent this by loading all articles,but only part of articles, and when you open article which is interesting to you , loads full article.

That's when your really interested, and you hit the "Read Full Article" link.
Yes , I can hit the "read full article" , but problem is that mobile opera needs a lot of time to open and load page( whole page where is the article) , its not extracting only the article , and thats wasting of time and money(gprs,3g)
I just want that RSS reader extracts full article , so I dont need to open my internet browser...
I could be wrong but I think this is determined by the feed itself and not the reader. for example wmexperts, brg and engadget post the whole article cnn does not.

definitely : this is not reader related, but due to the feed :
most of sites truncate the article so that you have a glimpse of it and need to browse their site to have the full article (and more... purely marketing wise)
Some others push the full article in their RSS Feed.
By the way, I tested different readers, and to me BeyondPod (2.8) is great : includes icons, manages rss, podcasts, and automatically downloads podcasts when refreshing, not like the buggy Newsbreak which is not free (!)
Hello everyone,
while I was on my tortureous Odyssey of finding a working htc sense eReader.cab version I had an idea ...
Isn't it feasable to use the mobile page of the "Project Gutenberg" like a free app-store? It would be overwhelming! About 20.000 free eBooks to choose from - and to make the decision more difficult - one can choose the format in which the file will arrive on the device --> pdf, epub, html, w/o pics....
Just an idea.... but I must admit that I'm a loser when it comes to programming. I could do beta-testing
Good Idea but one hell of a project..
Any one willing to take it on?
Just an idea...
That's how the mobile site looks alike:
http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog.mobile/search/
There are also apple-apps available, which are similar to the setting of the mobile site... don't know, perhaps this could be a helping information?
Or you could just download Freda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7141176), go to the 'Add to library' screen and point it at the Lucidor OPDS catalog of the Gutenberg books database (http://lucidor.heliohost.org/opds/pg.php). That should work ...
EDIT: It does work, kind-of. The 'next/previous' page reference links aren't being picked up right by Freda, so for multi-page entries (e.g. "all authors beginning A") you only see the first page. I will fix this in the next Freda build. In the meantime, you can work round by manually editing the fi number (e.g. in the URL, replace "&fi=1" with "&fi=100", and the display will start with the hundredth entry, not the first).
This would be quite nice if Freda would support the Gutenberg Site.
Not to mention the additional popularity boost "Freda" would gain with this support!
Very nice idea. Thanks in advance!

Hi
Link Manager is quite a simple app that sits between your clicked links (e.g. in your twitter client) and your browser(s). You can do some modifications to the links before they are opened, such as dispatching them to different browsers based on simple rules, or displaying expanded short links before opening.
This is my first published app, so surely there will be bugs left or things that don't work as expected (I'd call it a beta version). I hope some of you will find it useful though, and would like to receive comments.
You can either get it from Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.umulmrum.linkmanager
or from my personal blog at
android.umulmrum.de/pages/downloads.html along with the source code (under GPLv3+ licence)
or just download the attached file.
(sorry for not providing complete links - as a new user I am not allowed to include links yet. But I hope the "semi-links" above are obviously enough no spam links and therefore ok from the forum rule standing point)
Hey guys, One weekend I was creating a list of all the webcomics I read on facebook and had the idea to get an android app instead. I looked for some time but most of the already present apps were very limited in the number of comics they provided. So I created one of my own. It has got decent response initially and I have made some updates to it.
Features:
Allows you to select any webcomic or online comic of your choice.
Top comics from Reddit Webcomics subreddit.
No login required.
A huge list of famous comics provided to get you started.
Save/share comics.
Limited size image caching on your device to allow for optimal bandwidth usage.
Simple design.
Here is the link to the app store listing : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viv.comicreader
Needless to say, any feedback is very much welcome. Would love to hear your thoughts about it.
Thanks.
