CELLPHONES: Surf the Web on Your Phone...And Like It?

The promise of technology is great. Delivery, however, often stinks. Such is the current state of the cell phone. Even if you have one of those brick-like PocketPC/Smart Phone devices with a 240x320 screen, looking at web pages on it just doesn't bring the kind of joy one should expect. Surely the Jetsons never experienced such angst.

Thanks to our friends over at IYHY.com you can now surf the interweb in text version alone--old school rules! Just sign up for a free account (I suggest doing this on your PC first), plug in a few of your favorite sites and IYHY will keep a list of these available for your account. Once you surf over to the IYHY.com site on your phone, log in and BEHOLD: Your list of sites (and the ability to plug in additional URLs) appears. Click on the link and there's your favorite site all decked out in rich, glorious text.

Thanks to Sarah Lane (at sarahlane.com) for the tip.
