Make your WordPress Site and Blog Mobile Friendly with dotMobi WordPress Mobile Pack
If you are looking out for ways to make your Wordpress blog or site Mobile friendly, The dotMobi Wordpress Mobile Pack is one of the best answer.
dotMobi WordPress Mobile Pack includes a mobile switcher to select themes based on the type of user that is visiting the site, a selection of mobile themes, extra widgets, device adaptation and a mobile administration panel to allow users to edit the site or write new posts when out and about.
The dotMobi Wordpress Mobile Pack offers the following features and functionality:
1.) Mobile switcher to detect mobile visitors and provide an appropriate experience. The mobile switcher identifies whether the visitor to the site is mobile or not, and switches between the primary WordPress theme (for desktop users) and a mobile theme (of the site owner’s choice) accordingly.
It can use two approaches to identify the user as mobile. Firstly, it can try to identify if they have a mobile device based on the headers sent when a page is requested. Alternatively, it can identify whether the user has requested the site on a ‘desktop domain’ (such as yoursite.com) or a ‘mobile domain’ (such as yoursite.mobi) and deduce their intent from that.
2.) Base mobile theme for quick-and-easy XHTML-MP compliance. The base theme supports all standard WordPress content, including indexes, posts, pages, archives, search results, comments and widgets. If configured, it also invokes the device adaptation process that ensures the posts themselves are formatted suitable for mobile devices.
3.) Extended mobile themes so you can unleash your mobile creativity.
4.) Transcoding and device adaptation to optimise the mobile experience.

5.) DeviceAtlas integration for world-class adaptation.
6.) Mobile admin panel allows the blog managers to access the admin interface, specifically designed for mobile, with simplified access to the most common features such as editing a post or approving comments.
7.) Mobile ad widget to make you some money. This allows you to easily enable mobile ads with AdMob or mobile Adsense.
8.) Barcode widget to help users bookmark your blog. Using this feature you can add to your full site a nice barcode that devices with a barcode reader can use to quickly visit the mobile site.
The pack has been tested on WordPress 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7. Please note that the plugin requires you to be running WordPress on PHP v5.0 or greater.

I don’t know if this post is submit in the right place.
I have published the last version of “Apache Mobile Filter”, this open source project have, in the first six months, more than 600 downloads from sourceforge and I think the same from CPAN.
The Apache Mobile Filter allows you to access WURFL from any programming language, not just Java and php that is traditionally used for dynamic mobile web sites.
The module detects the mobile device and passes the WURFL capabilities on to the other web application as environment variables. It can also be used to resize images on the fly to adapt to the screen size of the mobile device.
Try it and let me know your opinion.

Damn, that sound’s so easy if you think about it.
Hi,
It’s a real shame that you hadn’t seen my plugin before this article as it has more features, works on more devices and makes your blog look better than any other mobile plugin for wordpress that exists.
It’s called the Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin for Wordpress and the homepage can be found here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-architect/ – here are a few screenshots of it in action: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-architect/screenshots/
You can comment from mobile, upload mobile logos, style your mobile site exactly how you want it as well as a ton of other things.
It’d be great to hear what you thought if you wanted to give it a go!
will it gonna have subdomain for mobile such as m.mysite.com?
