Add an iPhone-friendly feed to your website

SimpleReader Mobile has been facelifted so it looks great on an iPhone. Even if you serve full feeds containing images and styling, SimpleReader Mobile makes it super-easy to offer a lightweight alternative feed for those on bandwidth-deprived small screen devices.

I added a hyperlinked icon to my sidebar with the following code:

<a href="http://mobile.simplereader.com/?feed=bioneural.net" title="iPhone feed for all content" class="feedlink"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/styles/bioneural/iphone16px.png" alt="iPhone" style="margin-right: 20px;" /></a>

The icon looks like this (the middle one):

Iphone-Feed

I normally serve full a feed including images, but clicking the iPhone link (which can of course be bookmarked on the iPhone) serves a lightweight page like this (in desktop Safari):

Iphone-Mobile

Anyone care to send me an iPhone so I test it? ;-)

    Sweet!
    But you don't need an actual iPhone to test this, just use iPhoney, Bruce. ;-)

    (BTW: thanks for the invite - you know what I mean. I'm expecting an in-depth review of that piece of software on your blog today or tomorrow :-P )

    I know I don't need an iPhone Henk, but iPhoney just feels somehow... phony.

Something to say?
