Long time has passed since this blog has been a "mobile portfolio", so here is some screenshot from a nice project I worked on.
Mobile Medline Plus is a mobile web site hosted by NIH/NLM American Government institutes, which is designed to fit a lot of different devices from some plain old WML device, to the latest iPhone 3GS, Motorola Droid and Google Nexus One.
From the home page at http://m.medlineplus.gov you can:
- Keyword search and get back results from the MedlinePlus database
- Browse or Search “Health Topic” Pages
- Browse or Search Drug Info
- Browse and Read Health-Related News Headlines
It was nice to see that a lot of blogs and twitter users welcomed the new site and, in general, gave a good feedback to it (for example: this one).
Here's how it look on two very different devices, a SonyEriccson W580, a low-mid end device with a 240x320px screen,
and the Google Nexus One, with its huge 3'7'' inches, 800x480 display.
Not bad, since you think that the very same view handles such different devices!
We addressed the mobile web device fragmentation using the WURFL open source tools, both the file and the Java APIs, which provide a lot of useful information and detail about the device which is requesting your mobile page. Also, WURFL file is extensible, allowing the developer to map custom device behaviours he want to keep track of.
