There’s this web site where you can input limited text and graphics and look at them in a simulated mobile phone screen…

After putting it together, you can even host it free on that web site’s server. We did this ourselves, and you can see the result here.

To play with this free tool, go to mobisitegalore.com.

Even though there are limits on the length of your company name and what you can place on the index page, this web site will help break you in to the mobile web concept.

Definitely worth a try in your spare time!

Iphone web page on Iphone screenOn January 9th, 2007, Apple Chairman Steve Jobs announced that his company had created an Ipod with a phone built in, and he called it.. the Iphone.

The reaction to the announcement was mixed… Cisco Systems sued, saying they had trademarked the name. Experts claim that there is not much to write home about the feature that Jobs touted the most — the Iphone’s touch screen — since mobile phone majors already make phones with them (O2 XDAs, i-mate JAMs and even Motorola’s A1200 MING).

But the fact is, people are saying things like:

“If I am in a bar and there are pleasant people of the opposite sex whose attention I would like to attract, it would not work, I promise you, with a LG KE850 nor yet a Nokia’s N800. But try it with an Apple iPhone. Then they will be all over me like a rash… ” (Gareth Powell in tech.blorge.com )

Knowing the cult-like status of the Ipod, this little doohickey is going to go through the roof when it is released in June. It is going to do for mobile browsing what YouTube did for video posting. Everyone’s going to be browsing the Web from their Iphone, so be forewarned: you had darn well better have web pages that read easily on it, other wise millions of I-surfers ain’t gonna see you!

Basically you want web pages designed according to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C’s) Mobile Web Best Practices… they should also fulfill their purpose for existence and have high usability.

You have till June to upload your pages, which gives the right amount of time to traverse the web design process. You also have enough time to save up the $500 you’ll need to buy the Iphone! Maybe you could fast once a week and use the money you save…

Happy Iphone browsing!
