Webservices do this by identifying the user agent string of the browser. The midori version (0.1.9) I have on my desktop allows you to change this string to something like the iphone one. And works quite well on all the mobile versions of sites I tested. The only one that didnt work is gmail :( Midori in the shr feeds is quite old (0.1.2), and as far as I know does not have this functionality. Perhaps if the shr-devs could update the midori version in the feeds... The other alternative is Arora, a lightweight qt based browser. Which works well on all mobile websites. It is, as far as I know, not in any distro feeds. So someone will need to cross compile it for the freerunner... Regards, Adolph -- Adolph J.
