Smart Phones and PDA TP Version
Dennis, oh Wizard of our site, how tough (read: work) would it be to set things up so that it could be in a format more "PDA" friendly?
I know a lot of sites now have a sort of echo or second page for iPods and such.
The reason I ask is I was trying to browse TP from my iTouch recently while at the condo in Florida. Trying to zoom in far enough for these old eyes to read it meant I got about 10% of the page on the screen at once. That equates to a LOT of scrolling.
I know it is possible because a bunch of aircraft type sites I use are set up to be full screen on a PDA.
I didn't know if it would be hard to feed just a select portion of the 'regular' data into a new page like mobile.tractorpoint or tractorpoint/mobile or something like that.
Also, if you want some more content for the 'podcast' page let me know. I'll happily put in some time just to give that one lonely 'bota some company over there. 
Best of luck.

I have revisited the smartphone version idea. I found prevous effort still to difficult to navigate and read on a smartphone.
The current version I have running has more clicks but loads faster in big type and is more cell phone oriented.
I have only done a test version of the active message view, and it is a work in progress!
Any comments welcome!

I should add that this is just a prototype and I will add some general menu capabilities, etc. eventually, right now you can read messages and post replies. The reply page for now is the same as the PC browser version.

Dennis,
I must say the new version is much easier to use & read, but the first thing I noticed is that the 'reply' feature sends you to a 'recent threads' kind of page.
Keep up the good work!
Best of luck.
