Milo goes mobile

{ on Nov 7 }

milo mobile version
Today i read about the usability of websites as a mobile version, as on microsoft .

More mobile versions can be seen at News.com and Bitty Browser, i remembered that Alex King developed a Wordpress plugin for pda’s / cellphones. Screenshot above taken via mobi mobile emulator, but i’m not convinced, if the plugin works fine, because it gave some security alerts and some accessibility alerts. On the second click everything worked ok.

Alternatively, consider a separate site for wireless users. That’s the advice of John Lee, vice president and general manager of Hostway, a Chicago-based Web hosting company. “When building the site, think about it from your customer’s point of view. What information would they need from your Web site? Perhaps they need your location, business hours and contact information,” he says. Remember: Most wireless users, whether they’re on a PDA or a cell phone complying with WAP standards, will be viewing this at a vastly reduced screen size.

Leave it or not? Please test it via your cell phone ( adress as in your browser ), make a screenshot and drop me a line back.
