Posted: Tue 27/Dec/05 10:56pm Post subject: Mobile Vorb Upgraded
Mobile Vorb allows you to surf Vorb from any cellphone with a HTML browser. It's useful for quickly checking news and events, and you can even logon and post on the forums.
I spent some time tickling the code today and Mobile Vorb should now be easier to navigate around and post on. You can use Mobile Vorb by entering http://mobile.vorb.org.nz into your phone's browser. So stop sitting inside and get out in the sun (unless you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you might want to turn the heater up and get another blanket.)
You don't need a 3G phone, but it does make the process startlingly quick. More info on 3G in NZ here

I love that two of my favourite websites are able to be used on my phone. (Gmail is the other.)

it shows what users are logged on. Just as a side note, mobile vorb and mini vorb are two completely separate things.
