Just saw this:

http://gigaom.com/2008/02/15/using-the-mobile-web-is-a-sticky-proposition/

and this in particular:

"On of the more interesting approaches is being taken by Chicago-based
Novarra <http://www.novarra.com/index.html>, an eight-year-old company
that is working with carriers including Vodafone, U.S. Cellular and 3
Hong Kong <http://www.three.com.hk/website/pagelet/homepage/index.jsp>
to deliver the web to any phone, even low-end handsets. Novarra offers
an appliance for carriers or a service that essentially offloads 80
percent of the data processing associated with downloading a web site to
servers run by the carrier or Novarra. This cuts down on the amount of
data traveling over the carrier network, and makes load times faster.
Content providers such as Yahoo also use it to deliver lighter
applications for mobile phones. Novarra powers Yahoo’s oneSearch via
mobile."

and I though, while we developers stay in the basement and look at HTTP
headers, the people at the top floors will read blogs like this and walk
away with the idea that Novarra may be the solution to something. Would
someone here spend some minutes explaining what the developer viewpoint
is on the blog? you may want to point to the following URLS:

http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/vodafonerant/

and

http://dev.mobi/node/814

and also mention the fact that those swedish vikings turned their
websites blank for the Novarra/ToliaSonera users, just as a proof of how
happy everyone is with the "solution".
