\"Alpharetta<\/p>\n

Canada.com<\/strong><\/em> m.canada.com<\/a> Canadian newspapers dominate this week’s edition of Found on The Mobile Web<\/em> thanks to big Canadian media conglomerate CanWest<\/a><\/em> which last week rolled out a redesigned mobile version of its flagship online news portal Canada.com and ten daily newspapers.<\/p>\n

All the CanWest sites use the same basic template which features live sports scores and the full text and selected news photos from over 100 news items from Canada.com’ s national and international news, sports, entertainment, business and technology sections.<\/p>\n

The individual newspaper sites also include extensive local news coverage and current and long range local weather\u00a0 forecasts.<\/p>\n

\"Canada.com<\/p>\n

In a press release<\/a> announcing the new mobile sites, CanWest says that they are optimized for smartphones and specifically mentions the iPhone and Blackberries. It looks like there are two different versions of the CanWest sites, an 81 KB iPhone\/Android layout and a simpler 50 KB one for all other phones.<\/p>\n

The sites work well on the targeted devices.\u00a0 However the 50 KB pages will be an issue for many feature phone users whose handsets will be unable to load these sites. Most news sites offer a mobile version under 20 KB for non-smartphones.
