  • RIP Openwave Mobile Browser
  • So as we all get spun up in the excitement and wonder over iPhone 2.0, and as Apple appears to continue its ascendancy in the mobile space, I feel compelled to share about a company that’s gone in the other direction. I don’t know if folks don’t care, or there really isn’t any impact as a result of it, but either way I feel inclined to spend some pixels on a recent development.

  • 240x320, the new standard screen resolution
  • I've had this theory for the last few months, and so I've decided to put it to the test. Today, most of the new phones you can buy have a screen resolution of at least 240x320 and are fully web xHTML (WAP 2.0) capable. When I see all the new models constantly coming to market, it's clear that the common screen width is definitely shifting to 240x320 pixels.

  • Cookie Support, and Mobile Devices
  • If you're a regular on the site, you'll have noticed that we have been hard at work creating a new Test Suite that will play nicely with DeviceAtlas. During its development, I've had to put up with a ridiculous amount of obscure problems, but there's one that continually rears its ugly, ugly head and makes life hell for me. Cookie support. Or lack of it.

  • Device Testing is here, TA-DA!
  • We all know how important accurate device profiles are, and this is proven by the success DeviceAtlas has already had in less than 4 month. In the initial months we have focused on consolidating existing "database silos" and we are still doing that, but we want to do more now and introduce real-time browser testing with TA-DA.

  • The worst practices of the mobile web, part II
  • A few months ago, I blogged about the worst mistakes I saw on mobile sites. Since this time I have visited and analysed plenty more mobile sites (so that my search crawler can process them better), and I have a few more offenders whose practices can make mobile browsing a nightmare...
  • Usability - Posted by Ronan_Mandel 2 years 15 weeks ago
  • WebKit by any other name… or How I found a use for JavaScript
  • I’ve been doing a great deal of thinking lately about JavaScript/ECMAScript and the mobile web. What I’ve been struggling with is the need or value for it when it comes to sites which are organically created for mobile. Sure there’s a need to support JavaScript as fully as possible for providing a ‘full web’ experience and managing existing content, but when it comes to designing for the mobile context, is there really value for it?
