forum access using a pda
« on: November 21, 2006, 08:03:47 am »
So, I got a new pda phone and was surfing around and decided to give this site a shot. I love the way this site detects and works with pda's!  It doesn't try to format the screen like for a regular browser - it makes it completely text based and easy to nvigate. Very nice.

Thats pretty cool... whats it like formatting other sites?

I have a big rant on this topic:

I have a PSP, now PSPs have a inbuilt webbrowser. Very cool idea, only flaw is that it format pages too large so you always have to scroll around just to view the page. And you'd think that people who setup sites for downloadable content for PSP would format their sites so you could actually view it on the machine. But no... I couldn't find any.

A lot of websites are igorant of mobile browsers. This site doesn't even try to send images. Sites like cnn or foxnews or others like that are nearly impossible to read on a pda.

thats quite surprising really, you'd think the big corporates like cnn that would have jumped at this new mobile target for new viewers.

it seems like a lot of the US media companies haven't figured out the mobile/wireless thing yet. I wonder how the bbc looks.
