One thought on “Found On The Mobile Web #207

  1. Hi thanks for this interesting review, I am going to check out some of the sites on my mobile.
    Your screenshots seem to be off a bit though, or why is it that the Yalwa site has a screenshot of InfoWorld next to it? Would be nice to see screenshots of each site next to the review, it would help visualize it better.
