MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Now if we could only get that MacDailyNews.com site to do this.

Gets my vote

I misread it and thought it said large buffoons for each story and wondered how that was different.

Oh gosh! Might be nice on an iPhone... but what a crap to surf through by normal means!...
I'll have to make 2 versions of CSS for every website i'll produce... (probably for no extra money!)

You're on the money there, Bob. I've love an iPhone-formatted version of MDN.

Maybe Skynews should be nominated for an iPhone-related design excellence award. Their site might be a chip off the Apple, Inc. design block.

This site's format clearly places on the shoulders of a competent editorial staff the burden of deciding which news items deserve the emphatic priority being displayed. Bad choices here might negate the elegant design but, on first perusal it appears the staff has a superb handle on the news.

I find it interesting to compare this Skynews site with that of the BBC's mobile-related site. There is a decided difference.

The site looks sweet. Very iPhone-esque.

But I wonder why sites are migrating to iPhone-ish layouts. One of the huge iPhone selling points is no modified (WAP) web pages are needed b/c of safari / multi-touch integration. However web masters are still modifying sites, albeit instead of stripping the site for WAP, now they are iPhone-specific.

Don't get me wrong, I think those sites (sky news, facebook) are amazing in iPhone layout. Maybe this is beginning of the Web 2.0 look and feel??

LOOKS GREAT.

Should be lot of these to come.

I just tried the site and I have to say that it is the best site so far that was designed for the iPhone.

As a switch on the 'naked news' in Britain, iPhone users are encouraged to look at the news on their iPhone topless.

Yeah, screw the BEEB. Sky's the limit!

What The SteenMachine said.

I thought the whole idea was that iPhone allowed you to have the "real" Web in your pocket. Now it seems people are taking great pains to make a fake one for the iPhone. It just doesn't make sense, I tell you!!!!!!

Look at how little bandwidth the SkyNews site uses...

SkyNews is ~ 70kB
MDN is ~ 950kB

The difference in loading time is ridiculous. MDN takes forever on my iPodTouch over WiFi.

Dear MDN,

Is there a way to have an MDN bookmark of RSS feeds for my iPhone which **only** show the text and not the graphics?

I can't wait for them to take their time downloading on my slow EDGE connection.

Anybody knows if this is possible?

Thanks.
