TamsPalm
Content Usability
TamsPalm-the Palm OS Blog is an interesting blog by Palm developer, Tam Hanna. The site is updated several times a day by Tam and a number of contributors and includes Palm OS tips and secrets, product reviews, general musings on the future of the handheld scene and the process of software development along with a number of technical pieces replete with code examples. Tam's the guy who wrote the utility that lets the Netfront browser (which normally only works on Sony Clies) run on Palm branded devices.

Tam is using a Wordpress theme called Lesbar to create the PDA version of the blog. Lesbar strips the blog down to a single column containing just the blog items along with a search box at the top and a form for writing to the "shoutbox" at the bottom. In general, Lesbar does it's job allowing a mobile user to read sequentially through the blog starting with the most recent post. Like CoolSmartPhone, the pages are big - so you need something like a Palm Treo or Opera Mini to fully appreciate the TamsPalm site.

Update: Tamspalm no longer offers the Lesbar theme and worse yet the current theme is terrible for mobile users. The best way to read TamsPalm on your phone is with an RSS reader like Bloglines Mobile.
