Any advice? Thanks! Curious how to reduce the contiguous zeros… we have run into this same situation, but not clear from Apple how to fix. Any advice?

We're taking a look at a couple mobile themes for WP to fix the problem. @Andrew – thanks for letting us know. We’re taking a look at a couple mobile themes for WP to fix the problem.

Send me (via Fluxa) the spanish version of this story and I will contact Fayer Wayer (one of the top geeky websites in LatAmerica) and maybe La Tercera (Big Newspaper).

They encrypt, then compress. The encrypted file will never compress well. If they were to compress, then encrypt, everything would be fine. Apple are doing this the wrong way round.
