Content ****_ Usability XXXX_
InfoGin Home Page InfoGin (m.infogin.com) is the company that provides transcoder technology to AOL and Yahoo and several mobile opperators. I never use transcoders anymore, Opera Mini so much better than any of them. But if your stuck on Verizon with just that Openwave browser, a good transcoder can really open up the web for you.

I found AOL's transcoder increasingly unreliable when I was using it. The thing seemed to return an error rather than a page more often then not. Perhaps the errors were the fault of AOL's infrastructure rather than the core technology. Anyway, in my brief tests InfoGin performed well.
