Bemanistyle for Mobile

MdX MaxX · 04-30-2009, 09:59 PM

Bemanistyle is a great big site, but browsing it can be a pain when using a less-than-capable web browser on a mobile device, such as PSP, iPhone, DSi, Pocket PC, etc. Would a small, simplified mobile version of bemanistyle be feasible? The only pages needed would be the Headlines and Forum system, since not much else is useful on a portable device.

I was thinking about doing this a while ago... I'll see.

It already loads pretty damn well on the iPhone and G1.

Loads very poorly on Opera mobile

I support this feature

On stock vBulletin boards, you can use the Archive link at the bottom of the page (here's an example) for mobile browsing. It looks like vBSEO interferes with that here, though, since the thread links point to the full versions rather than the reduced ones.

it's something we may explore more in depth when the new version of the site launches this summer.

might be a really good idea, I've tried bemanistyle in <insert Windows Mobile browser here> and loading bemanistyle tends to be a pain in the ass.

Netfront did a pretty good job, but supports no flash and isnt officially released. good for slow, and low ram devices.

Opera Mobile (some really recent build, newer than what comes on the HTC Touch Pro) loads it, but its like watching paint dry. On anything short of a HTC Kaiser (Read: AT&T Tilt) however, this browser becomes unuseable.

Internet Explorer Mobile is a joke. Yes, even 6 on 6 is a joke. However, Windows Mobile 6.5 is coming with a new build of PIE that works better. I've seen it. Haven't tried bemanistyle in that version though.

Skyfire Exists and does load the page well, and its fast, but its Remote rendering. As in, pictures of the website that you can interact with end up on your device. This has security implications. but if you just want to load the news page and read the news, its a good choice.

Iris is a new browser for Windows Mobile and it tends to be a tad slow, but its good and has some neat graphical effects if youre into that sort of thing. Dont show up to this party if you dont have at least a 128mb ram device though.

Mozilla Fennec is so new to the scene it hasn't had a proper bugfree release yet, so dont get too excited. It's supposed to Alpha2 this week, but Alpha 1 was painfully slow on the HTC Touch Pro, the target device of the Windows Mobile port of Fennec. Hopefully Alpha2 will speed things up and I'll post about it when its out.'

If anybody wants to contact me about anything in this post, go ahead and hit me on AIM or send me a PM.

This wouldn't really be suitable for forum posting, but for the frontpage news, game info, lyrics, and the like, this could be pretty useful.

ok so Im at work making this post on my htc fuze and the new build of fennec. its slow but useable, just wait for the entire page to load before attempting to do stuff and youll be fine.. howeve Im having problems with most special characters, so god knows if the utility here is worth it. skyfire also released 1.0 earlier this week. but I havent tested it yet
