Digg Mobile
Wap Review writes about an unofficial yet handy mobile version of digg that's powered by Mobits. Meanwhile, in related news, Dave Winer was kind enough to create a mobile version of my blog. If you have feedback on the latter, please do share it. Thanks!
This Digg mobile is stupid. When you click on a headline link, it just brings you to the full version of Digg. It doesn't even bring you to the page the story is supposed to link to. What good is that for mobile users? They could at least route the links through Google's mobile page formatter or Skweezer.

This is a simple script that turns an RSS feed to a mobile interface. It is not meant to replace Digg, neither it has the capability to do so, because Digg does NOT offer a full API neither its RSS feed gives the full URLs.
So, do a bit of research first (or just read the blog page where everything is explained) before you spit out all this.

No, we couldn't. These proxy servers make the UI look like complete crap. Our implementation of the mobile interface works and LOOKS grat throughout any mobile browser.

That's one ugly looking, super-lite WML page, it is not an HTML-based one that can work on other embedded devices other than cellphones. And it requires Wordpress too. So, no, it's not "anyone".
