phone/handheld access

Post by Mr. Fed »

so I am in a boring meeting (sitting with client as he reviews docs at usao) and accessing by treo 650. does the forum software have any bells and whistles that make phone/handheld access easier? like a handheld version of the site? any hints other than obvious (like turning off graphics)?

Very interesting. We have not considered portable access devices and what would be required to have a handheld friendly version. Something for the list.

Yeah, it definitely doesn't work very well right now (or at all in some cases). I think it would be ok if you had a Pocket PC OS and used Pocket IE. Other than that however, don't bet on it.

I know my beloved NASIOC forums has WAP enabled version. I think the admin there bought some software and installed it to get it to work.

It's pretty slick.

A wap version of the forums? The ability to submit pithy retorts while standing in line at the supermarket? GENIUS!

Then I wonder if Angelina ever wakes up in the middle of the night to find Brad Pitt in the shower, huddled in a corner furiously scrubbing at his d*** and going, 'I can't get the smell of Billy Bob off of this thing.' Then I try to think of something, anything, else." --Brian

FWIW, it works fine right now in Palm with Netfront browser.

I found the site to be not completely unmanageable on my Blackberry, but it wasn't an experience I've found myself eager to repeat.
