Mobile Websites Wot Are Good
As a wee follow-up to my Opera Mini™ for Mobile article, here's a teeny list of websites that are particularly good when viewed through the tiny window of your lovely Opera Mini browser.
- Gmail Mobile
Gmail mobile is totally brilliant. It's essentially a stripped-down version of Gmail (as most good mobile sites tend to be), with all the essential parts on view and all the unnecessary bumph thrown away so as not to skyrocket your phone bill every time you want to check a mail. Each Gmail mobile page is only 1kb, so it's perfect for checking those mails while on the move. It's not quite a Blackberry, but who wants a frickin' Blackberry anyway (clue: not me)? It rocks. If you have a Gmail account and a mobile phone, have a look. - Flickr Mobile
I mentioned this in my aforementioned article about Opera Mini, and it really is great. Again, a stripped-down Flickr, but none of the functionality is lost. You can view your and your friends photos, photos by tag, you can look at comments on your pics and you can even upload a photo from your phone. So everything you'd need from Flickr if you were using it on a bus or train, really. Top Marks to this one too. - Wikipedia
This one is really good, but I'm not sure if it's an official Wikipedia interface or just some kindly soul making Wikipedia browsable on a mobile. Either way, it works. Perfect for those heated discussions in the pub with friends, and the 'I don't think you're right' moments. Now you can prove they're not right (unfortunately, it can also prove that you're not right, too). - Google Mobile (obviously)
It's Google. It's on your mobile. That's it. It's good. - Sevitzdotmobile
My good mate Adrian has also made a mobile version of his excellent blog. It's just like the others, a stripped-down version of the main website. He's a clever bloke, our Adrian (I want one of these btw).
So that's about it. Once again, all these sites are best viewed on Opera Mini for mobile, because of it's amazingness.

I bugged Adrian until he made sevitzdotmobile.

Maybe if the two of us bug him together he'll do a znaddanzdotmobile and a toastdotmobile too? I need to lower the page size as looking at LWT on my mobile is costing a small fortune!

I promise I'll get round to
- Adding comments to sdc mobile
- Adding mobile templates to all sevitzddotnet sites.
