I've stumbled on a nifty use of the Google Web Toolkit:
   http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/
someone built for mobile phone web browsers.

Simply place the string:
   http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=
before any existing URL and it turns the pages into mobile phone  
friendly format.  It includes AJAX stunts for opening and closing  
divisions within the "mobilized" pages.

I find it so useful that I even use it on noisy pages I'm currently  
viewing on my laptop.  It turns them into a more readable form, sorta  
like "printer-friendly", AJAX enabled sites.
