If you're on a plan whereby you pay per MB then great. I think it stinks if you're on a mobile and you've paid for an unlimited data plan. When browsing on a mobile device every pixel counts and so I don't want to see an image *re*-compressed. The amount of digital noise just looks horrible.

Sprint does something similar with their SmartView software for their Sprint WAN cards. The software either downgrades the images or, if you'd prefer, completely prevents them from loading and taking up your (and their) bandwidth. Nice post.
