Taking wordpress mobile.
The growth of the smart-phone market has made mobile web surfing a part of daily life. For this reason, it’s increasingly important that your web content is easily accessable for the mobile market. If budget weren’t an issue, I would recommend creating dedicated mobile applications for the major mobile platforms (iphone, windows mobile, blackberry, and android). Unfortunately, development of custom mobile apps accross multiple platforms can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it’s not always easy to take your app mainstream.
Luckily, there are a few plugins for WordPress that make your site ‘behave’ as if it were a dedicated application on smartphones. MobilePress formats your content for Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and Android. iWPhone provides excellent formatting for iPhone. If you’ve got a WordPress site already, I would strongly suggest installing these plugins.
