BBC shows off new mobile version of bbc.co.uk homepage
The BBC has announced that it’s created a new mobile-friendly, customisable version of its home page for a variety of devices including the iPhone and iPod touch, Android phones, any handset running Opera, N Series and other high-end Nokias, Sony Ericsson and Samsungs and some Blackberrys.
The home page can be arranged as desired and there’s localisation for such things as news, weather and TV schedules. iPlayer also fits into the mix.
While the iPhone and other handsets with larger screens and decent browsers could access the standard BBC home page, this is useful as a cut down version in areas where there’s only a 3G (or lower bandwidth) signal and no Wi-Fi.
Tried it? What do you think of it?
