People Magazine is a US weekly print magazine that is a top seller on newsstands. Owned by Time Inc., People is know for its celebrity coverage and human interest stories. People Magazine bids aggressively for interviews and exclusive rights to photos and has scored a number of scoops including the first photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's baby and Jenifer Lopez' twins.

The magazine has a popular website at people.com and recently launched a mobile website, m.people.com. The mobile site mirrors the content of people.com with about 100 "news" stories about movie and TV stars and other celebrities, around the same number of celebrity photos plus a dozen movie, music, TV show and book reviews. There are also supposed to be videos in both Windows Media and mpeg4 formats, however the half dozen links I tried all returned "File Not Found" errors.

Other than the broken video links the site is well done from a design and usability standpoint. Page sizes, photo width, video format and markup (xhtml or wml) are all optimized to match the capabilities of your handset. Source: oh.dirlink.mobi

Disney's official mobile site looks like lots of fun for children of all ages. There are free online games, movie trailers, a "Radio Disney" channel featuring teen-themed music and much more including a special page of games, activities and videos just for preschoolers. On the practical side the site also has TV schedules, Disney on Ice tour schedules and information on Disney theme parks.

The coolest feature is probably the personalized Disney character voice tones generator. It lets you create ringtones with Tigger, Mini or Donald speaking your child's name and other customizable information like a favorite food.

However there are some things about the Disney site that seem poorly thought out. Radio Disney uses a voice call rather than using streaming media so the sound quality is awful. I'm also not impressed with the site's adaptation to the huge variety of mobile devices in the market. There is some attempt made to adjust page and image sizes to browser capabilities but the minimum page size seems to be about 76 KB. The big, image and JavaScript heavy site does work reasonably well on my Android phone and Nokia N95. However, I'm pretty sure that it's too large to even load on most of the low end prepaid feature phones I see kids carrying. Plus the page layout seems optimized to 240x320 or larger screens and doesn't scale well to smaller ones.

ThrillNetwork.com is a roller coaster and amusement park fan site. The mobile edition of ThrillNetwork (mobile.thrillnetwork.com) is aimed at PDAs and Smartphones and works best on devices with screens at least 220px wide and able to handle pages up to 100 KB in size including images. The site also works very in Opera Mini. If you want to visit ThrillNetwork with a typical phone's built in browser you should probably use a transcoder like Skweezer or Google's.

ThrillNetwork Mobile features ride and park reviews and ratings and an amusement industry news section with announcements of new rides and parks. Registered users can comment on the news and rate and write reviews of coasters and and parks. Anyone can read the news and reviews and search for rides and parks. For each park there is a list of the major rides with links to each ride's rating and review. The site also features several lists; top rated steel coasters, top rated wooden coasters, most visited rides and most visited parks. ThrillNetwork is great fun for anyone who enjoys amusement parks and their rides or who has children who do.
