The Pogo Mobile was a GSM-based mobile device developed by British start-up Pogo Technology Ltd. It combined web browsing, messaging, audio playback and phone functionality in a portable form.
It used a server-side compression system to shrink web pages before sending to the device, improving the effective speed of the device by reducing the amount of data that needed to be sent to the device. A similar system is used by the Opera Mini browser available for most current mobile phones.
The Pogo Mobile was launched in 2001,[1] only to be withdrawn from the market 2 years later when the manufacturer went into liquidation.
