Research in Motion long has compressed its data "in the cloud" to improve user experience. The same technique is used by some browsers, including the "Nokia Browser."
In some cases, the advantage simply is better end user experience. In other cases, the objective is to reduce end user device data consumption, which in many cases means lower mobile broadband bills.
That might be especially important in developing regions.
The Nokia Browser compression means end users consume less data by up to 90 percent, Nokia says.
"Today's mobile phone users want a quick internet experience but without being held back by high data costs," said Mary T. McDowell, executive vice president, Mobile Phones, Nokia.
