CNET.com on your iPhone

by Kent German

Though the iPhone offers one of the best Mobile Web browsers around, surfing through full HTML pages can be a little tedious if you have a slow connection. So for those Goldilocks moments when a full HTML site is too much and a WAP site is just not enough, there's the new CNET iPhone experience.

Optimized for the iPhone classic and the iPhone 3G, the CNET iPhone experience offers all the content you'd find on the regular site, including product reviews, stories, and blogs from CNET News and Crave and videos from CNET TV. But unlike the standard site, which you can still access if you like, the iPhone experience offers a simplified design that will render quickly on your iPhone's display. Check it out today at http://iphone.cnet.com/.

You can also just type in cnet.com and it will detect that you are using mobile safari. Then you have a choice to stay mobile or use the full page. Its a lot easier to type.

Is it going to be updated? Or will it be just like before where the most up to date videos are from July?

Using it with Opera Mini on my Moto Q9m. How about doing the same with my favorite site, crave.cnet.com?
