SFGate.com Has Gone Mobile

Comments (0)
SFGate.com is the online supplement to the San Francisco Chronicle.  I tend to go to "The Gate" for up to date local news (traffic, earthquakes, etc...) and event information.  When I got my BlackBerry a year ago, I was pretty disappointed to see that the Chronicle was charging a monthly fee to access their mobile edition.  I took it for a free trial spin and couldn't believe anyone would actually pay for it.  The paper isn't really THAT good and their mobile version was just horribly formatted.

Well it seems that they've come to their senses and opened up mobile.sfgate.com, a free mobile version of the paper in a streamlined format. I'm guessing this has been made possible by their recent update of the main website and their accompanying use of stylesheets.  The style appears to be modeled after the New York Times, one of the more usable mobile newspapers.

Congratulations and thanks to the team that worked on this.
