Yes, you're right, Paul. Google is translating. The last paragraph here is
from google j-phone.

From my J-SH53:
http://wired.com too big, can't display
google search, via phone, for "wired"
wired.com, #1 link, click it and . . .
Woh! What's this?

TurfThree-dimensional games are usually associated with first-person
shooters like Quake, but the underlying technology lends itself to
storytelling -- and a new genre of animated movies, called machinima, has
sprung up to exploit it. By Leander Kahney. 1 / 101.More2.Next Match3.Links

Something happened there. Try again. Another difficult site. Not too
difficult -- not likely to be made for mobile browsers -- apple.com
Via my "naked" phone -- http://apple.com too big (T3040401)
Via google search, "apple macintosh", . . . I can see it! Seems that it has
been reformatted, Top to bottom, then left to right, two pages on my phone
for the one on my pc.
Back to google, clicking on the "Search Tips" link (three links on the whole
page) gives this:
"Google J-Sky lets you search and view the entire World Wide Web, by
translating HTML into J-Sky-compatible HTML on the fly. Simply type in your
search query, and Google will return the most relevant results in a format

There it is.
