A great example of a really well designed mobile site.   Jax2Go image 2     Jax2Go image 1   The front page consists of just seven links to the major sections of the site. Most of the sections have their own menus which allow the user to drill down to their area of interest quickly. You will find plenty of local news, business news, feature articles and the obituaries. Sports coverage is minimal, just scores of professional and major college games pulled off the wires. There's even some mobile specific content, weather radar images and traffic cams. The radar was current but even though its 2:45 AM in Jacksonville as I write this, the traffic cams show sunlit freeways. This site is one of the few to have adds. There are small graphic logos of a law firm or a furniture store at the top of several pages. Very few mainstream WAP sites have been able to sell any advertising. I think it's a good omen for the future of the mobile web that a local news site can.
