WoodWrangler WoodWrangler is online now 05-07-2008, 10:36 PM

Is there a URL that offers a mobile-friendly format of the North Carolina Woodworker website? Some website call this the "low bandwidth" version.

I'd like to browse North Carolina Woodworker on the Blackberry mobile phone and on the Amazon Kindle in their basic browser. It technically works with the website, but there is a ton of overhead making it very difficult on these devices.

I was hoping there might be a layout to the site that avoids the "fluffy" stuff (announcements, featured photos, ads, etc) so that I could be connected "anywhere"

The iPhone is the only one I've ever seen present it well. I guess that's because it's more of a computer with a real browser. I can get it to work, but it's painful ... lot of scrolling/navigation.

Why don'tcha just strap a laptop to your belt and be done with it -- you can surf to your hearts content.
