![This blog on a mobile](http://theinternetispeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/mobile.png)

[](http://daily.gigaom.com/2006/08/27/winer-goes-wireless/)[Om Malik](http://daily.gigaom.com/2006/08/27/winer-goes-wireless/) and [Michael Arrington](http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/08/29/dave-winer-ponders-mobile/) are pondering Dave Winer’s move [towards mobile-enabling the blogosphere](http://www.scripting.com/2006/08/27.html#internetTime). Specifically, his product OPML Editor will allow users to [view content they’ve subscribed to on their mobile phone](http://support.opml.org/2006/08/27#a1631). This is definitely a useful feature; I certainly spend a fair amount of time viewing my Gmail on my phone (in lieu of a Blackberry or similar device), and the ability to subscribe to content and take it with you is brilliant. Similarly, Winer’s [Yomoblog.com](http://yomoblog.com/) service for posting to weblogs by phone looks like it could be great.

Arrington also highlights [Skweezer](http://www.skweezer.com/), a site that will take any other site and return it in a mobile-friendly format. This seems completely redundant to me given the existence of [Opera Mini](http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/operamini/), an excellent browser that goes through Opera’s proxy server which automatically provides content-squeezing functionality. I now can’t do without it, and there aren’t any phone browsers - certainly not for my handset - that come close in terms of functionality. (To see if it meets your needs, there’s [a Java-based demo](http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/operamini/demo.dml) here.)

**Update:** Of course, some sites prefer to do this kind of optimisation themselves on a per-platform basis: [Yahoo! Go has just been released for Windows Mobile](http://uk.techcrunch.com/?p=27), for example.
