No iPhone Version Here

Yes, there are now plenty of iPhone modifications that will make blogs iPhone friendly. I’m choosing to buck the trend… I’ve decided to pass on the iPhone enhancements here.

Why? Because I think that iPhone is powerful enough to handle the full ChristopherPrice.net experience… mobile versions of web sites are a step down in quality, and iPhone doesn’t need it, especially for a blog. So, hope you enjoy the full look and feel, I think it looks great on iPhone (but, feel free to call me out on that in the comments).

Now, this site does have a mobile version… for other, non-web-friendly PDAs (as in, all of them except for iPhone). PhoneNews.com‘s mobile version does pick up iPhone, and pushes it the mobile version. Why the disparity? Well, PhoneNews.com is a much more complex site, and it takes a lot longer to load on iPhone (especially over EDGE). Code-wise, the different platforms target the xHTML Mobile profile differently… PhoneNews.com’s picking up iPhone while ChristopherPrice.net skips over it.
