A bit late here, but our previous attempts had turned giving PFC the mobile wings into a bit of a disaster. But nevertheless we are done with giving it iPhone and Blackberry wings. Here are a few snapshots of how PFC turns out on an iPhone. The objective was to keep it as lightweight as possible for speedy downloads. You also have the ability to switch on and off the Mobile version of PFC in case you need to access some areas of PFC that are currently not available in the mobile version for example browsing Archives or Author lists.

The list of devices which by default will switch to PFC’s mobi version are – iPhone, iPod touch, Android, Opera Mini mobile, Palm Pre and BlackBerry Storm. We’re working on including more mobile devices and should be rolling them out pretty soon. And as always waiting to hear your feedback!

    Thanks guys. Update: this is a list of all agents/devices PFC mobi will work on. I’ve divided this list in two groups

    Group 1 – The devices/agents listed here will work just fine with complete Ajax and javascript for drop downs etc.

    “iphone”, // Apple iPhone
    “ipod”, // Apple iPod touch
    “aspen”, // iPhone simulator
    “dream”, // Pre 1.5 Android
    “android”, // 1.5+ Android
    “cupcake”, // 1.5+ Android
    “blackberry9500″, // Storm
    “blackberry9530″, // Storm
    “opera mini”, // Experimental
    “webos”, // Experimental
    “incognito”, // Other iPhone browser
    “webmate”

    Group 2 - The devices under this group will not load ajax, javascript and other cool features but will show all of the mobi content. We tested this on a very old blackberry version running windows and pages are loading under 20 seconds on an Edge, under 18 seconds on 3G and under 12 seconds on a WiFi

    Congratulations! An excellent initiative! Will it also work on Nokia – non-blackberry phones?

      haven’t tried it on the device. If you have one, could you try it out and let us know the results. The design won’t come as nicely as on an iPhone or a Blackberry, but I’ll be very interested to know how it downloads on your Nokia. Do let me know about your device and model too when you comment in.
