So I’m all about freebie type stuff. Unfortunately most freebies are either games or cute novelty items that require you to purchase the "pro" version for it to actually be useful. Cough Cough goosync/oggsync Cough.

But John Cody (one of the many reasons for my dislike of Hand-that-shall-not-be-named-dango) has just released a really neat freebie that actually servers a killer purpose.., and is going to make you think DUH!!! Why didn’t I think of that.

History: I created this app because I was tired of reading the brief summaries often found in RSS feeds. To read the full details of a story, you often have to click the "Read More Online…" link at the bottom of the RSS summary, but these links often point to a full-size webpage which can be very painful to load into Pocket Internet Explorer.

What it Does: Basically, this app intercepts most attempts to launch Pocket Internet Explorer from another app (like from an email message or an RSS reader), and instead will prompt you with "Skweeze it?". If you say no, then Internet Explorer will launch normally to the passed URL. But, if you say "Yes", then it will automatically filter the passed URL through Skweezer.com so the webpage will load quicker and better formatted for your device’s smaller screen.

Now, a little buy-be-ware. This app isn’t "packaged" yet so you will be required to edit your own registry, and be also awaare that you bear the risk that comes with editing said registry. (Make a backup!) But so far this is running solid on my hx2495 (WM5)!
