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. All the pages I tried loaded quickly and web forms seem functional, I was able to post a comment on this site.

InfoGin has what I consider the two essential features in a transcoder, pages spliting and image resizing. There's also a primitive form of Opera and the Google Transcoder's content folding were menus and forms are hidden but can still be reached through a navigation menu.

One great feature of InfoGin that I haven't seen before in a transcoder is the Map function ...
