If you use your Windows Mobile phone or PDA for email, instant messaging, and even Twitter, you know how much fun it can be trying to copy and paste, or even just read incredibly long URLs on an incredibly tiny screen. CeSnipURL is a free utility for Windows Mobile 6 devices that lets you shorten long web addresses without opening a web browser and visiting a URL shortening site like tinyURL or SnipURL. The utility automatically puts URLs from your clipboard into a conversion window when you launch the application.
After your conversion is complete, the new URL will also be copied to your clipboard. You can then enter shortened URLs in text messages, tweets, or other messages.
CeSnipURL was developed by Vince Koser, the same guy who designed ceTwit, a Windows Mobile Twitter client.
