I caught a video from WordCamp Portland, where Duane Storey was talking about the “Mobile Frontier.” He mentions some interesting statistics, such as most people using a mobile phone to web browse prefer a mobile-friendly web site, while at the same time the majority of web sites don’t offer a mobile-friendly theme. Seems like a bit of a disconnect. And completely unnecessary, as getting a mobile design for your site couldn’t be easier — especially if you use WordPress. But the resources offered below also have options for Drupal and others. I use the MobilePress plug-in on my site — it is really easy to use, allows multiple versions for various browsers, and I like the way it displays on my blackberry.
