Portals<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Netvibes Touch<\/em><\/strong> iphone.netvibes.com<\/a> Personal portal site Netvibes has launched optimized “Touch Web” versions of the site for the iPhone, iPad and Android. Instead of using\u00a0 a single URL with browser detection and adaptation, Netvibes provides separate URL for each platform:
\niphone.netvibes.com<\/a>
\nipad.netvibes.com<\/a>
\nandroid.netvibes.com<\/a>
\nThe appearance, UI and content of all three variants appears to be identical although there are probably some behind the scenes device specific optimizations<\/p>\n

The sites use HTML5 local storage and real time synchronization of read\/unread items across platforms to deliver a seamless experience to desktop and mobile browsers.
