Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

LiveJournal has launched a new Mobile site scheme - which includes a useful summary friends view.

At first glance there's a lot of unnecessary page furniture removed, giving you a small, fast loading page. I thin it will be useful for checking things on my phone on the road (beyond the custom view I put together a couple of years back after tweaking one that had been made available for general use). I suspect it may also be useful for quickly checking and updating without getting in the way of work...

(Though the new T-Mobile MDA Pro I'm playing with at the moment is a GPRS/3G/WiFi device with rather nice 640x480 display, which seems to work quite well with standard LJ themes. The browser in Windows Mobile 5.0 is a huge improvement over mobile browsers I've used in the past.. However this new view does seem tailored for the Blackberry 7100t I'm also using. At the moment I seem to be able to put more phones on the table than my friend Chris, what with those two, the O2 iMode NEC, my regular SPV C500 on Orange, a Nokia 3230, an O2 X4, an SPV M2000, and the iMate JAM. Yup, my very own mobile data test lab...)
