New Middle Web Sites: Techmeme and Google News

Posted on by

Techmeme, the popular tech news aggregator, launched a new mobile site yesterday.  The official announcement is here. I like what Techmeme has done,  The site, while targeted specifically at the iPhone, Android and Palm WebOS phones, isn’t turning anyone away.  You can visit techmeme.com/m with any browser you want.  I tried it using the Android browser,  a Nokia N95-3’s Webkit based browser, Opera Mini 4.2 and the old Openwave 6.2 emulator. I found that the new design worked just as … Continue reading →

Coders.mobi – A Blog for Mobile Web Developers

Posted on by

There is a new blog aimed specifically at mobile web developers. It’s Coders.mobi and offers tutorials, tips and tricks, code snippets and mobile site and toolkit reviews. I think that there is a real need for a site like this. Mobile web development is a subset of web development in general but it isn’t currently given much coverage by the big web development sites like Webdesigner’s Depot and SitePoint. Coders is new and doesn’t have a huge amount of content … Continue reading →

nokiaAAddict: Great Reviews, Rants and Apps

Posted on by

Gerry Moth’s nokiAAddict.com is an indispensable site for Nokia and Symbian users whether they are actual addicts or just trying to get their phones to do what they want them to. Gerry reviews the latest hardware and software but the best part of the site for me is its directory of S60 3rd and 5th apps. When you need an an app, avoid the frustrations of the Ovi Store and doggy download sites and head directly to nokiAAddict’s Downloads page … Continue reading →

New Mobile Bookmarklet – View PDFs As HTML

Posted on by

Last month I wrote about an easy way to view those pesky PDF documents in many mobile browsers. That method used a bookmarklet that rewrites links to PDFs so that they open in the online PDF to Image converter at view.samurajdata.se.  WapReview reader Serola just sent me another bookmarklet that uses a different online PDF conversion service, pdfdownload.org, which converts the documents into HTML instead  images. With the documents I tried the  HTML representation (image, top) was not  as faithful … Continue reading →

Bugs Kill the User Experience With the Post Office’s Mobile Site

Posted on by

The United States Postal Service (USPS) recently launched a mobile web site. Features include package tracking, a post office locator with information on hours and last mail pickup times and a couple of zip code search tools; one that gives the zip code for a given address and another which tells you what city a zip code is located in. For procrastinators there’s also a page listing the last date to mail holiday cards and packages to various destinations. For … Continue reading →
