Bristol Wireless website goes mobile
Over the past couple of days we’ve gone and updated our WordPress install and, as part of the update, we’ve also added the WPTouch plug-in to enable customisation of the site’s theme especially for folk with smartphones.
Apparently it delivers a fast, user-friendly and stylish version of your site to touch mobile visitors, without modifying a single bit of code (or affecting) your regular desktop theme.
According to the WordPress blurb, this is what the plug-in does:
“WPtouch automatically transforms your WordPress blog into an iPhone application-style theme, complete with ajax loading articles and effects, when viewed from an Apple iPhone / iPod touch, Google Android, Blackberry Storm and Torch, Palm Pre and other touch-based smartphones.”
WPTouch is produced by BraveNewCode, Inc.
Anyway, smartphone users, let us know how you get on below.

It looks exactly the same to me: and that’s a good thing. I dislike those “wp mobile” sites (using an Alex King plugin I think) where it’s an extra page download to read comments and some parts of the site are inaccessible. Just use a decent theme that degrades gracefully.
I’ve just visited a wp touch site and it’s nasty, hard to navigate and doesn’t obviously relate to the “real” version of the site. No, wp touch doesn’t seem active on BW and that’s good.
