I find content compression to help a lot on wireless connections. It can also save you a bundle while roaming.

For the geeks among us there is ViCompress (http://www.visolve.com/vicompress/), a free Linux compression and caching proxy you can run along Asterisk on an old PC.

Those requiring plug and play solutions can always go to service providers such as Propel (http://www.propel.com) which costs $8/month or $60/year.

Also, Opera Mini does some level of compression. It's also one of the best mobile browsers out there.

Great point. Opera's back end servers do the same thing for Opera Mobile and OperaMini for mobiles and SmartPhones as ViCompress and Propel do for desktops.
