Swype | Text Input for Screens. Useful Mobile URLs. Why use the mobile version or at least a simpler version of a web site when Maemo devices are capable of accessing the full version? Some reasons: Speed -- simpler versions may be considerably faster because they lack Flash and JavaScript. Full versions of websites are sometimes designed to run on desktop processors using browsers with JavaScript optimizations. Focus -- simpler versions are often to the point, more in keeping with the spirit of mobile apps vs. desktop apps. Compatibility -- sometimes the full version of a web site doesn't support Maemo devices properly. On talk.maemo.org, there are periodic requests for mobile versions of sites.

NOTICE August 12, 2009: If you are having issues with the hosted version of my twitter widget (i.e. you are not linking to a local copy of the javascript file on your own server), it looks like my bandwidth has been exceeded on my googlepages account. Frankly, I can't imagine how that tiny .js file could exceed my bandwidth, but perhaps someone with a very popular site is linking to it.

In any case, I'm working to find a permanent, alternate host. For the latest updates on this issue, check back here or follow my Twitter feed. Oh, and I probably will have to find a paid host, so if you are a user of this widget and would like to help out, a donation would be appreciated (the Donate button is in the right hand column on this page). UPDATE 1/25/2009: I have received a few feature and bug fix requests. That list is available here. I have a fairly packed schedule through the spring and mid-summer of 2009, so it may be quite some time before I am able to complete these. OpenNETCF Consulting, LLC > Home.
