I was killing time, waiting, doing the Dad’s Taxi thing. While I waited, I was catching up on Twitter, on my phone, plus reading the various articles from my stream.
You know what is becoming a real pain point.
Non responsive designed web sites. The ones that don’t scale well on mobile devices, sadly they are still the norm.
Especially news and information sites.
Why is it the information on these sites being the major selling point and yet it seems to be very hard to access on a mobile device. it’s not like mobile is new.

The book has been out a while. I did first read Mobile Web Design by Cameron Moll a while back via an pdf e-book version on a plane flight. The book is short to the point and very much suited to the electronic media format, with all the links activated when they are referenced, which you would expect.
First off this is not a book that you teach yourself how to code for the mobile web directly step by step. However it is a beginners guide to the mobile web as it stands today (circa 2007). This book is rather a reference guide on where to find the relevant information on mobile web development and the issues that you will face.
A few months back I reported that Three had restricted access through their network (3netaccess) to certain web sites that are normally available via other providers (like twitter). As expected I lodged a support call with this problem.
Well I’m happy to report that about three months later, Three have finally fixed the problem so now we should be getting unrestricted access on both the 3netaccess and 3services networks.
The one point of interest was the level of support service that Three offered. They phoned with an update to the support issue at least twice a week, keeping me updated with the progress each time.
