It's been a long while since I used AvantGo, but here's my impression:
When they say "compressed" they mean something like: Removed extraneous
HTML that we can't process (e.g. <!-- -->, <style></style>, etc.) and run
the HTML through an encryption algorithm so nobody else can access the
data. AvantGo may use some additional compression, but they're not nearly
as compressed as even DOC compression, let alone iSilo's algorithm or
Plucker's ZLib compression.
