All, I have attached a CTG conformance statement for InstantMobilizer (IM), dotMobi's website mobilization service. IM takes content from an existing non-mobile site and uses it to create a mobile-friendly version of the site on a different URI, by transcoding in real time. IM uses on-the-fly markup and resource transcoding and hence operates in a similar manner to a content transforming proxy. IM differs from typical content transforming proxies in a couple of key ways, however, and this results in a different set of use-cases that don't map exactly to CTG tests: 1. Transcoding is done at with the express permission of the content owner (origin server) --- this changes the relevance of many of the CTG tests and is the main reason why I have stated Not Applicable (N/A) in many of our responses. 2. There is no attempt to mask its presence to the user --- IM is not acting as a transparent agent DotMobi has nonetheless tried to comply with the CTG as far as possible since we feel that its recommendations are useful and relevant. Note that the IM service has been superseded by our goMobi service, though many of the IM technologies are still being used, including transcoding. GoMobi lets you create an excellent mobile website in about 5 minutes. See http://gomobi.info/ for details. Regards, Ronan Director of Engineering, dotMobi
