Mobilize by Mippin wordpress plugin Wordpress Plugin »

The Mobilize by Mippin Wordpress Plugin is a configuration free add on. Once installed any cell phone accessing your URL will be redirected to the Mippin rendering of your blog. Mippin renders perfectly for every cell phone type. Even the iPhone renders your blog better and faster than going to the direct PC URL.

Content which can be easily rendered on any cell phone has been traditionally very difficult. Users have got very frustrated waiting for web pages to load on their phones and then for them to display in a very unfriendly way. Even the iPhone can take more than 60 seconds to load a normal sized web page. Some carriers have introduced transcoder to help render the content in a more suitable format for phones. However, this approach is flawed because the variety of formats on the web make this task often impossible to do well. Mippin took the approach of using RSS feeds from sites as the raw content for rendering on the phone. Mippin then goes much further to ensure the rendering of the content is perfect for every single device. For example photos are scaled to perfectly fill the horizontal dimension of the screen, videos are converted on the fly to the 3gp format commonly used on phones and games are delivered according the phones capabilities.

Mippin has as a product has been active since Oct 2007 and growth in user take-up and available content has been strong.

Mippin is a free service to the consumer. The look of the mobile rendered site can be optionally be configured by the blog site owner and he/she can add adverts too and get 100% of the mobile ad revenue.

iPhone - Mobile Admin Wordpress Plugin »

Mobile Admin adapts the WordPress admin UI to be more friendly to mobile devices, specifically phones.

The iPhone / iPod Touch browser was the first target, but most other mobile browsers are supported at a basic level, and plugins can be used to customize for specific browsers where desired.

A plugin for the iPhone/iPod Touch devices is included, as well as a more basic plugin for Windows Mobile browsers. (Consider the latter a “beta”, but it’s mostly intended to be another sample for how to write a plugin.)

Most common WordPress admin features are supported:

* Dashboard sections: Incoming Links, Comments, Posts, Blog Stats
* Writing and editing posts (including auto-save)
* Tagging support in 2.3
* Comment Moderation
* Manage Posts page
* Manage Profile page
* Ability to toggle back and forth to the normal admin view.
* Support for plugins that include fields on the post page
* Compatibility with existing library of admin plugins

… with more to come in later revisions.

Patches are welcome and encouraged; if you’ve got a better looking / better working customization for any particular device, please submit it (via a Trac ticket - see below for link).

Please submit all usage questions to the support forums

SPECIAL NOTE - Testing and bug reporting is especially encouraged, as only one of us currently owns an iPhone.
