You can also browse my website on a mobile device.
The iPhone and iPod Touch can browse my website fine (works best with simple format for main website) including the PDFs, audio, animations. Everything is made available in standard web pages, PDFs or in iPod and iPhone supported audio formats.
The site has also been tested for compatibility with Safari, and in Apple's iPhone Browser Simulator which is included in the iPhone SDK 3.0 so it should work well with the iPhone.
Be sure to upgrade to the latest iPhone OS 3.0, if you have any problems viewing anything.
This site (excluding the multimedia and PDFs) has also been tested for compatibility on the browser which is included in the Google (Android 1.5) SDK Emulator and the Palm Mojo SDK Emulator should work well enough on Google branded and Palm Pre mobile phones.
I have tested for compatibility on the Blackberry JDE simulator for the 8800 model (in Cross Over Office on top of my Ubuntu Virtual Machine) and the included browser can barely process a text only web page (I had to turn off stylesheets, tables, and images for it to load at a bearable speed). I have 4 GB of RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo, so processing power couldn't be the problem.
I recommend downloading and installing Opera Mini as it will provide a much better web experience for Blackberry users. The Storm does offer a more advanced web browser, but it doesn't compare to even Opera Mini.
Opera Mini now works with my website.
Opera Mini will
not be able
to see even my mobile web pages
in their full glory, but they should now be readable and usable.
This only applies to the web pages and pictures. You may or may not be able to open the PDFs or multimedia, if you have the appropriate additional software.
Opera Mobile is an entirely different product which may or may not render this site fine. The Opera simulator online only simulates the Mini.
