MobileRead goes Mobile (beta)
It's been a long time coming, but we're pretty excited to finally announce the beta launch of our mobile site. Note this is really still a beta project; not everything is functional yet (e.g. you cannot browse e-books, image down-sizing still disabled), and we're sure there are still some nasty bugs hidden somewhere. This is why we need you! Please report all bugs and suggestions you may have back to us and we try our best to solve all outstanding issues.
You can access our mobile site through any of the following URLs: http://www.mobileread.mobi/ http://m.mobileread.com/ https://www.mobileread.com/mobile/ A final word to all iPhone users - we may implement an iPhone-specific mobile edition in the future. But for now, please accept our first mobile site as a new testing ground for your shiny toy. |

Congrats! Personally I can't justify the cost of a data subscription but it's indeed a shiny new toy :-)

Reply from my blackberry 8820, on which it looks totally sweet. I'll go through all the nooks and crannies when I don't have to pretend to do some work

The mobile site looks quite nice on the Sprint Instinct. If "fruit munchers" get their own special version then I think Instinct users should get one too! Right?!

A lovely cell phone! Well, I suppose the Instinct doesn't have it's own special xhtml markup like the iPhone?

It looks and works great on the Mogul. I do have one suggestion. For example when entering the Forum section I would prefer to see a drop down list for each major heading. This will prevent a lot of scrolling down the screen movement. Not sure if this technique works on real small screens. Something to consider and maybe you already tried out the idea during development.
