I just tried on my iPhone with mid-tier 7.5p3. I was able to log in, the home page rendered correctly, but I was unable to scroll up or down to see the entire contents of the entry point list on the left. I did not try with direct URL's but I bet it works... at least partially.
Here's a screenshot. Nevermind on the screenshot - listserv keeps rejecting.

Sent by: "Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)" <arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> Joe, Droid is Google's operating system that uses a "Webkit" based browser. iPhone's browser is built on Webkit too. I don't want to get hung up on the specifics. I just want to hear about successes and failures from people that have tried to get Midtier to work on different mobile devices.
