Mippin Maker Converts Websites for Mobile Browsing for Free

With the proliferation of mobile phones with Internet connectivity, mobile web browsing is growing very swiftly. The problem for many mobile web browsers is that only a small number of websites display in a usable manner on most devices.
This little factoid is one of the big reasons that the Apple iPhone is so popular since it allows you to view almost any website online just as it was meant to be seen from a computer rather than in some single column debacle you get on many mobile phones.
A new service called Mippin Maker allows website owners to take existing websites that were designed for viewing on a PC and convert them, for free, to be viewed on mobile phones. Mippin says that the entire process of converting a site with its software takes only 15 minutes and that the converted websites are able to keep the ads and money making methods used on the normal website. This could be a great service for website owners and cell phone users looking for better access to a wider range of websites.
