idiomag <\/strong><\/em>is a personalized online music magazine offering the latest in music news, reviews, music tracks and streaming videos.<\/p>\n

While anyone can use idiomag and get generic content, if you register at idiomag.com<\/a> you can set you musical preferences and import your profile from last.fm Pandora, iLike, Playlist.com, MyStrands, MOG<\/em><\/strong> or Songza<\/strong><\/em>.  idiomag will then be personalized with music recommendations, tracks and videos based on your musical likes.<\/p>\n

idiomag’s mobile edition (m.idiomag.com<\/a>) includes news, reviews and videos. It uses browser detection and delivers a “lite” version to basic phones and a richer presentation to advanced handsets like S60 3rd edition phones using Webkit and the iPhone. Opera Mini only gets the basic version, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

I’m a little concerned with idiomag’s  page size.  The lite version is a surprising large 28 KB, a little too large for some low-end phones to display completely.  The culprit is poor image optimization. One of the 50×50 thumbnail images alone is over 18 KB!  Using the free IrfanView program to  remove the EXIF header and increase the jpeg compression, I was able to reduce the image size to 1,191 Bytes.  Can you see the difference? I can’t –  the optimized image is on the right.<\/p>\n
