You don't need to have an iPod Touch / iPhone to enjoy a mobile-specific version. Many times an iPhone-specific version will render well on Windows Mobile devices, Android devices, Blackberries, Palms, and more!

I've ditched my iPhone but I still like the idea of a mobile-specific site

1116051 2010-07-12 07:21:00 Yeah I know, was talking about GameJunkie's suggestion about an app nedkelly (9059)
1116052 2010-07-12 07:47:00 Ah true. There are apps that allow you to view vBulletin forums on an iPod / iPhone :) Chilling_Silence (9)
1116053 2010-07-12 12:07:00 any for windows mobile? nedkelly (9059)
1116054 2010-07-12 22:45:00 More often than not most Windows Mobile devices will happily view iPhone-specific versions Chilling_Silence (9)
1116055 2010-07-13 02:08:00 Here's a bit of a clarification:
At the moment when you go to PressF1 on your PC, it looks fine in the browser. If you try going to it on your iTouch / iPhone / Windows Mobile device (Almost anything but Android) it's terrible. OK sure it's *usable* on your iPhone, I posted from mine a few times, but it's a BIG hassle and terribly slow.
Whereas if there's a "theme" that automatically detects that you're coming from your mobile device, and it automatically adjust what it displays, that'd be all the more appropriate.

For example, I have something on my blog which makes it look better on your iTouch / iPhone / Android / WM Cellphone, so you can still see the whole websites content (And on Android you can even view the Screencasts with Flash), but it's jut displayed in a manner that is a lot more touch-friendly and appropriate for such mobile devices:
www.c2s.co.nz
Go there from your Cellphone and you should see a mobile-specific version. Go there from your Desktop and you see the regular theme.

That's the kind of thing that I'm looking for, for PressF1, and thus far I seem to have FFBG's blessing to pursue it!
