  • Looking for good examples of Mobile Interfaces

    I'm part of a dev team that builds blog/forum software and I've been thinking about mobile interfaces lately... so I'm trying to find a good example of site like ours that provides a good (enjoyable, useful and usable) mobile interface... one that will work across a variety of browses.

No beta/alpha XPS viewer for my Q, no beta/alpha viewer for the Mac or any other platform.... Are they wating on WPF/E? Well it is out in CTP form and I'm sure the XPS team could have found an earlier build if they wanted to... so...what's up? Continue reading...
