This week the popular presentation sharing site SlideShare launched a mobile Webapp. Which is something I'm really excited about.  If you're ever clicked a link in Twitter or an email using  your mobile browser or iPad and found yourself on Slideshare's old non-mobile friendly Flash based site I think you will welcome the change too.

According to SlidesShare the new mobile site supports the iPhone, iPad and Android devices. The images above show it running on an HTC Magic phone running Android 2.2. Even on that old and underpowered device, SlideShare worked well and switching between slides was almost instantaneous.

With most new HTML5 based mobile efforts, Android and iOS are the only platforms supported. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that SlideShare Mobile also worked well with the Samsung bada, WebOS and Opera Mobile 11.1 browsers and even with Opera Mini 6.1. That's no mean feat as proxy based browsers like Opera Mini support a rather limited subset of JavaScript and HTML5.

There is one downside to using an unsupported browser.  If you go to Slideshare.net  with anything but an Android or iOS browser you will get the desktop version of the site. If that happens you can use the URL slideshare.net/mobile/ to see the mobile version. Also, most older presentations on SlideShare aren't available in mobile format yet but all new ones should be.

Qpyn Is a short URL service that's somewhat mobile friendly.

The way it works is that you go to www.freepyn.com and enter the URL you want to shorten. Qpyn gives you a 10 character "pyn" code which you can put in a document or send to someone by SMS, email, Twitter or paper and pencil.  The recipient of a pyn can use it by entering the pyn at Qpyn.net to go to the original URL.

The pyn for wapreview.com is :}hO8oAj.i} Wapreview.com is (I hope) pretty easy to remember, the real value of short urls is for sending long deep link URLs.

Qpyn is an interesting service but for one that claims to be mobile friendly it has strange restriction. The pyn creator at www.freepyn.com doesn't work in mobile browsers, only in PC browsers!

Unlike with some of Google's recent mobile webapps which only seem to work with the iPhone and Android browsers, this one is relatively cross platform. The mobile version came up automatically for me using the WebOS, bada and Symbian^3 browsers and with Opera Mini.It worked perfectly in all those browsers except the Symbian and bada ones where the graphs didn't display.
