Mowser, a new Web page transcoder for mobiles
Mowser is a new service that does transcoding of Web sites so they can be viewed effectively on mobile phones. It does this intelligently so that already mobile-optimized sites are not tampered with. Google and others already have free transcoding gateways, but possibly not as smart (I need to test it more to see if there are user-noticeable differences). I guess Mowser uses WURFL/WALL for figuring out device features, but I have no proof.
