Sorry for the delay in reply. Started working again after a couple of days. Got another update after 1.5 OTA update here in the UK, not sure if it had anything to do with it. Keep up the good work.

@Andy,

What means did you upgrade to 1.5 – manual or rooted vs US or UK OTA?

Also if you can tell me what the browser user agent is – if you can uncover?

Thank you for this heads up!

Like the site. Good work. Only problem is that since the 1.5 update
I no longer get directed to the mobile version.

I’m an android fan and the first search I did tonight was “android top sites” and this was the first useful or interesting page I found. Just wanted to let you know your efforts are generating grateful traffic. Thanks, and I hope more people optimize their sites for mobile users! Also want to let you know the site’s mobile version is working beautifully for me.

Yup everything is the same except for the generic tag which prevents the mobile version from showing up.

If you changed the agent from generic to dream in your emulator then that would trigger the mobile version for this site as well many others.
