Bitty Browser Goes Mobile

Bitty Browser, a fantastic widget that can be embedded into any Web site, has launched a mobile version - and it is downright handy.

The core Bitty Browser service is basically a frame that makes it a snap to browse to light or full versions of dozens of Web sites without having to leave the page you're on. It can be easily integrated into a start page like say Netvibes or even a TypePad or Wordpress blog sidebar.

The mobile version (m.bitty.com) is even more useful. It's essentially a starting point for your mobile browser. It links to light versions of all the top sites. The Mobile Bitty Browser also has a link that you can use to visit a stripped-down version of any Web site, even it if it does not have a mobile version.

My one nit with the Mobile Bitty is that each link takes you to an interstitial ad before you hit your destination. That may be fine on the desktop, but on a wireless device it's a real hassle. I would rather see lightweight text ads on the home page.
