SqueezeNet's Frequently Asked Questions

Browser Compatibility

Which browsers seem to work the best with SqueezeNet?
QualComm's pdQbrowser and ProxiWeb's  browser seem to work the best.  For now, the best option is to use the PDA (without tables) SqueezeNet site.  Once these browsers support tables, the PDA (with tables)  SqueezeNet site may be a better choice.

Are there any browsers that are not supported?
The only issues we are aware of is with the HandWeb browser.  When trying to access SqueezeNet.com, you may get a message saying that the site cannot be found because the current browser does not support protocols required to reach the site requested. To work around this problem,  scroll down and re-enter SqueezeNet.com in the Domain text box when you are prompted by the error page.  You can then tap the "Submit URL" button.  The SqueezeNet site should then come up.  Make sure you bookmark this page so that you won't have to go through the process the next time. As with the other browsers, the best selection for now is the PDA (without tables) SqueezeNet site. 

Accessing the wireless web

What equipment do I need to have wireless access to the web?
One of the more popular options is to purchase a Palm V and sign up with the OmniSky flat rate service.  The other option is to purchase a web enabled PCS phone and sign up for the wireless web option.

Do I need special software to access information on the Internet?
You don't need any special software to access SqueezeNet.  As long as your device supports some type of Internet browser, you will be able to view and interact with most (if not all) of the information presented through the SqueezeNet web site.  While we can't control any web site that is outside of the SqueezeNet site, almost all of the sites that SqueezeNet links to will have at least some content that has been optimized for a wireless device.  We try not to link to sites that have too much "clutter", contain non-essential data or have poor formatting for wireless devices.

How do I actually get to the SqueezeNet wireless web site?
Just point your browser to SqueezeNet.com.  Once the page comes up, make the selection most appropriate for the device you are using.  In most cases, the PDA (without tables) option will probably work the best for most wireless devices (except PCS phones).  For a web enabled phone, just type in "ptap" in the phone's Go-To page.  This is a short-cut that will take you directly to the correct phone enabled SqueezeNet page.

Using the Virtual Wireless Device

How close is the simulation to an actual wireless device?
The simulation is meant to give you a general idea of what it will be like to access the Internet with a wireless device.  The performance and formatting of an actual wireless device can vary significantly.  This is especially true if your PC download speed or your browser's capability are significantly different from the wireless device's download speed or browser capability.  Also, wireless device screens come in many different sizes.  The Virtual Wireless Device only represents one such possible screen size.  Additionally, your PC's screen size, font selection, resolution, window size and other factors will make the format look different for different users.  Therefore, to get a better idea of actual formatting and performance of a specific wireless device, it is recommended that you actually try one out before deciding if it will meet your needs.
