Don’t forget the mobile version of jkOnTheRun

We are a mobile tech site so it’s only fitting that we provide the best way to get our stuff even when you are mobile.  We’ve been testing a mobile version that is working well so we want to make sure you have it in your mobile bookmarks.  This version provides the the titles of the most recent posts on jkOnTheRun and an image thumbnail if your mobile browser supports it.  I’ve tested this on the iPhone, the T-Mobile G1 and the Blackberry Storm and the home page displays the thumbnails on all but the Storm.  Everything works as it should though and you’ll find it loads the full articles fast and with all images.  Give it a spin and let us know how you like it.  It works really well for me so far and I’m enjoying it.  It lets me keep up with all that posting Kevin does when I’m screwing off running around.  The URL is simple- m.jkontherun.com.  Here’s what it looks like on the iPhone:

  • On a Windows Mobile 6 device I am not getting the grapghics on the home page but the graphics are embedded in the articles themselves.

    Thanks James…just dropped it on my iPhone home screen. Do you guys have any way to dress up the link with your nice pretty logo? (you know, the one that shows on the iPhone home screen, when you “Add to HomeScreen”) :) Thanks

  • Jason says:

    Hello, same request as the above poster, any way to have the jkontherun icon show up on the iPhone/iPod touch when the link is added to the home screen. Thanks

  • Mike Whalen says:

    Love it! It works fine on my Curve. Feature Request! Please allow a link to a mobile version of the comments for each article.

  • Jim says:

    Works on my storm without the graphics. Thanks for the heads up. Also, agree with Mike about adding a link to the comments for each article.

  • GoodThings2Life says:

    On the Touch Pro (WinMo 6.1, Opera 9.5), I don’t see the icons, and it is displaying a horizontal scrollbar despite the fact it’s wrapping the text appropriately.

    Still, good improvement to the site! :)
