Zachery, this is great. And to Wayne, you have a point about the long-term - something like this won't matter in 2 years or so when everyone in the world has some sort of EDGE or 3G enabled phone or PDA or BlackBerry-like device. However, in two years, I also see a vast and rapid change in the vB product, as well. The modern mentality is one of instant gratification, so long-term viability or not, this project is good for use now.

And lets not mention the forums such as BlackBerryForums.com, HowardForums.com, or any of the umpteen others that are directed towards mobile users and mobile technologies. Just because a forum for My Little Pony won't have mobile visitors doesn't mean that some other forum wouldn't...

Someone else mentioned that mobile phones are now capable of whatever parsing, but the simple fact of it is - there's still a global bandwidth issue in the mobile market. GPRS's claims of 50kb/s and more is f'n ridiculous... 15-25kb/s is tops, so you try and navigate HAPPILY using that crap. EDGE and EVDO should be rolled out in N. America in the next few weeks/months, so maybe things will change at that point, but I doubt it. There will be atleast 2-3 years for a demand in slim-line, fast-browsing products.
