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.

Joe User, you are VERY, VERY wrong! I am doing mobile developement for 3 years now and I have access to most of these browsers. I know them in and out. XHTML/CSS does NOT work on the VAST majority of these mobile browsers. They CLAIM that they do support XHTML, but especially their CSS support is a pipe dream.

Haha, you are funny. You think that things are the way they are because we are lazy, or because we strive to be COMPATIBLE? Make a guess.
