Between the full desktop version, the subscriber's ad-free version, the normal mobile version (via autodetection), the very lite mobile version and the WAP version of OSNews, here is one more: http://osnews.com/pda . This version is built around our RSS feed and it's geared towards cellphones (like the Motorola RaZR line) that can't quite manage to render our normal mobile front page (28 KB overall) while the very lite or WAP versions don't have enough information in them so they leave our readers with a bitter taste. Hence, we implemented this RSS-based middle-ground mobile version, like we also did for other popular sites yesterday (screenshots). The PHP source code that generates this mobile-friendly layout is freely available and ready to be deployed, courtecy of MoBits.com.

Well, this new version is based on a static RSS file, so no equivelant comments page can be created. However, when you are actually visiting the site with a PDA or cellphone or other gadget, you are going to get the normal mobile version automatically, including the mobile version of the comments. So there is always a way to get a mobile version of the comments, even if this new RSS version doesn't link to one specifically.
