Loband.org - free proxy for mobile devices

I found out about Loband.org first at Teleread, but it also appeared in an article at Slashdot, which is the reason why the site is currently inaccessible: "Aidworld, a Cambridge (UK) based organisation specialising in ICTs for the developing world have created a free internet service to speed up web browsing in low bandwidth environments: loband. Using server-side compression and by filtering images, scripts and plugins while retaining content and basic formatting, loband reduces bandwidth requirements by between 5 and 50 times."

Example: MobileRead Loband'ed.

The idea behind Loband.org isn't exactly new. Skweezer offers a similar proxy tool optimizing the formatting of Web sites for PDA users. If you are using your PDA to surf a lot, you might want to try one of these two tools.

What's the advantage for someone pulling content with say Sunrise or iSiloX with a high bandwidth internet connection?

Not sure, but I'm wondering if the end result isn't going to be pretty much the same, assuming you don't pull images.

Edit: But of course I realize this way of using the site isn't the goal of the site... it's just what's on my mind at the moment

I have taken a look at Loband.org, but still prefer Skweezer.

Skweezer has features which are important to me: bookmarks, and optional PDA-mode graphics, compared to Loband.org which strictly strips off the graphics.
