Slate Content Usability Slate (mobile.slate.com) is an online news and lifestyle magazine originally owned by Microsoft but now the property of the Washington Post. Slate is quite similar to Salon.com in it's style and the type of articles it features. The mobile edition contains selected articles, features and columns from the full site . Although not the full Slate, the mobile version has quite a bit of content. There are 20 articles from today's coverage plus about the same number for each of the last 14 days in the mobile archive. Sadly, the Doonesbury comic strip - a feature of the PC edition is not available on mobile.
