\"Disney<\/p>\n

Disney’s official mobile site looks like lots of fun for children of all ages.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

The coolest feature is probably the\u00a0 personalized Disney character voice tones generator. It lets you create ringtones with\u00a0 Tigger,\u00a0 Mini or Donald speaking your child’s name and other customizable information like a favorite food.<\/p>\n

However there are some things about the Disney site that seem poorly thought out.\u00a0 Radio Disney uses a\u00a0 voice call rather than using streaming media so the sound quality is awful.\u00a0 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\u00a0 seems to be about 76 KB. \u00a0 The big, image and JavaScript heavy site does work reasonably well on my Android phone and\u00a0 Nokia N95.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Plus the page layout seems optimized to 240×320 or larger screens and doesn’t scale well to smaller ones.<\/p>\n
