One thought on “Found On The Mobile Web #237

  1. Thanks for mentioning our Industrial Tampere Mobile Tour for Museum Centre Vapriikki in your post!

    We appreciate the love and will hope to add even more mobile browsers to the supported list shortly.

    Now with HTML5 and mobile browsers that are starting to support dynamic web apps better and better, we hope that we developers can really start to push the envelope in mobile web.
