Wired Mobile

Wired magazine's slick new mobile site features most of the content of Wired.com in a very attractive touch mobile format that takes some of its design cues from the magazine's acclaimed (and pricey) iPad app.

The one size fits all page design manages to look and work well with the iPhone, Android, Symbian, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers. The 170 KB front page size might be too much for some feature phone browsers, however. 

My only real complaint is that the many, great videos of the iPad and full web editions don't seem to be working in the mobile web version. An embeded player is defined in the code but no player appears in the Android, Symbian or bada browsers. On the other hand, the site's banner ads don't seem to be displaying either, so I really can't complain much.
