\"ASOS\"<\/p>\n

ASOS<\/em><\/strong> m.asos.com\/<\/a> ASOS, a large UK based online-only clothing and fashion brand, has a new mobile site which was created by Usablenet<\/a>. ASOS carries over 800 brands of women’s and men’s clothing, shoes and accessories. The mobile site features high resolution product images which are re-sized (on the server) to fit your device’s screen width in most cases. The resizing algorithm doesn’t work correctly with Opera Mini, as can be seen in the screenshot to the right. \u00a0Dev Tip: for best results with Opera Mini send oversize images and let Mini handle the resizing.<\/em> Mobile purchases require an ASOS account but are easy as ASOS can use your stored billing and shipping details rather than forcing you to tediously enter them.
