PDAs, cell phones and iPhones
Wow, the response to this site has been phenomenal. Lots of questions (good questions) have been raised about newspapers, the web, marketing, and this little item: Viewing a newspaper website on PDAs.
Apple's iPhone, for the better in my opinion, made designing websites for cell phones that much better. The iPhone renders a web page the way it would on a web browser, via Apple's Safari web browser.
That said, not everyone viewing newspaper web sites are on an iPhone. That leaves the question of what do do for the personal mobile devices out there.
There are two solutions to the issue. One is to simply buy a .mobi web domain. When we design a site that will have such a suffix, we will add in a plug in to the content management system that will give a watered down version of your site on mobile devices.
The process is fairly painless, but is not without its drawbacks. For one, the site overall looks pretty plain. Graphics are null and the menus lose some of their functionality.
