[pct-l] Introducing the "PCT Info Sherpa" for Mobile phones - beta

[Austin Williams]

Thanks for all the input!

It seems like the iphone users experience small text and on the small-screen
phones (like the nokia) it looks okay.

I'll add in "back" links to make navigation easier.

As for the water report layout, I'll try setting the link directly to the
normal site and see if that looks better.  I'm not sure if the normal water
reports site will work on small-screened phones since (I've read) that
small-screened phones can't interpret tables.  We'll give it a try anyway
and see if that helps.  I wish I had an internet-capable phone myself --
that would definetely hurry this along a bit.  :)

This is the first time I've ever tried programing a mobile website, so bear
with until we can get it looking good.

I'm not sure yet if I can make the same site look good on both the iphone
and small-screened phones, since increasing the text size to make it fit the
iphone might result in the text being too big for the small-screened
phones.  I'm sure there is a workaround for this.  I'll look into it.  If
not, I'll make two mobile sites - one for the iphones, and one for the
small-screened phones.

I won't be able to work on it anymore until tomorrow, though.

While we're at it, is there any other information you cellphone-carrying
thru's would like to have quick access to while on the trail?  I was
thinking a "news" link that would have updated info on trail closures,
fires, etc.  Not sure how that would work yet, but I'm mulling over it.

Thanks again for all the input.  :)
