Briefly in English
MobiWeb spares bandwidth even 95%, and it is about 7 times faster than any
ordinary mobile browser. It also brings WWW to millions of mobilephones, which have not had it before!
Technology of the MobiWeb is based on the idea of running a web browser at the server side. It's not wise to try to run a fully functional browser inside a mobile phone. Instead, it is better to run the browser on a PC, and guide its actions by mobilephone, using it like a kind of remote controller.
The only requirement for the mobile phone is Java MIDP 1.0.
The technology of MobiWeb is based on transferring JPEG images and coordinates of the page elements.
For example, the pagesize of the original frontpage of the CNN's webpages is about 250kB, but MobiWeb- technology can compile it to a 12kB package!
This makes the browsing extremely fast and thanks to the advanced user interface, browsing is also easy.
