Your mobile - is it a smartphone?
More to the point, does it allow you to check emails and browse the web?

oh yes, and vote

As I posted somewhere else a bit earlier, 29% of 18-44 year olds now have smartphones.
I'm working on installing a mobile version of the front of the site, joomla have templates and I'm going to have a play around with it see if I can get something useable working. I really like touchbb app for the iPhone but I'm not sure if other smartphones may have something similar in the future with the OS's on phones starting to come together a bit.
I hear that you can now use a lot of the Nokia 97 apps on the i8910 that I nearly upgraded to so this part of the market should build quite fast now, quicker than when the first mobile smartphones came out. I had a pda about 5 years ago on windows mobiles but what a beast of a thing that was

If you are into this sort of stuff, 'avinio' is a good tweeter to follow, always has good links to technology marketing and trends.

Looks like the lone hippo now has a mate - hope they don't start breeding

the problem with phone based web pages is there rubbish if you have a more modern phone, iphone ect, as the mobile websites are often harder to use than the real ones.

or at least thats what i have found

I have found that with the telegraph's site, they seem to dump a lot of content.

What I really am looking for is stripping back the images that aren't necessary and keeping links to all the articles and directory page etc. I don't want to lose content just fumf.

Try touchbb on your iphone Rich for this place. It works well

I've already written to the developer as well as posting on his support site, asking that they have a 'view all unread posts' button added to the ones on it so far

Yes you can, and the great bit is I was talking to Bob in nowhere near Bergerac earlier tonight and it was free.
