WordPress Mobile Apps – Here are some you should know about
Wp Touch – Once you have this plugin installed it will automatically change the layout to whatever phone is being used. Currently this app/plugin works with the iPhone, iPod touch, Android, Palm Pre, Samsung touch and BlackBerry Storm/Torch mobile devices. The interface is easy to use and you can insert your adsense code into the plugin directly.
WordPress Mobile Pack – This is another application that has similar features, use whichever one strikes your fancy.
The bottom line is as time goes on more and more people are going to be using smartphones. If you start looking around at your local stores you will see more and more businesses using text ads and offering text coupons. You can now buy mobile advertising that works like most ppc does. In the near future more people will be using their cell phones rather than their desktops to access the internet.

Thats true that nowadays net is mostly used by PHONES only that coz of new enhanced smart and IP phones. This is very simple way to operate NET from anywhere and most important is you can carry it in your pocket.
I like all such application and mostly using many coz I hate sitting at one place for many hours. So for me this is better ROAM and WORK.
Anyway thanks for sharing it.

I was browsing google on how i can make my site http://estatenigeria.com mobile friendly and i got to this great article. I immediately applied the wordpress mobile pack and it was awesome at the immediate stats i started getting from the plugin. Nigeria use of mobile phone to access the internet is increasing alarmingly and i am sure this is also a world trend. Taking advantage of this mobile plugins and apps will help you get your business to the front of your target customers. Thanks for this post, it was so helpful to me
With so many WP Bloggers out there, this is an excellent piece to understand the value of having a mobile version for your WP blog. Local Search Marketing is also an area that WP bloggers need to stay on top of.
I thought about using a couple of these tools to convert my WP Blog, but opted instead to build a “companion†version v. the MoFuse or plug-in approach and thus far, its doing ok.
BTW , thanks for the Great post and timely. I just installed WP Touch this week for one of my blogs. I am now creating a custom icon for it and then I will be installing it on all of my blogs!
Now that are technology is fast changing, it is very important for us to reach all the potential audience in any ways as possible. Using WP mobile apps is really a great way to go especially that there are lots of techie people who love to use their mobile for searching (just like me). The use of this apps can be very advantageous to WP site owners.

Maybe because I have a droid x with the large 4.5 inch screen on a fast network, but I actually prefer a regular site opposed to a mobile site. I usually switch the mobile theme over to the regular site when possible.
But, I suppose on different phones with slower networks they might help. I may try to add a mobile theme to a few of my sites and track bounce rates from mobile visitors to see if it makes a big difference.
Thanks Larry!

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.

All this is made because of ever growing technology. Browsing internet through mobile was once a dream but now we can make online purchase along with remaining connected with people through social networking sites has given a rise to new community which never sleeps and has no horizons for sharing.
