- AgenteSegreto, on 11/08/2007, -1/+60Kevin's sleeping at the wheel. Where's the official Digg mobile???
- ricodued, on 10/17/2007, -2/+33Remember on diggnation when he bitched about how he only wants a cellphone with one purpose: to call people?
That's probably why theres no digg mobile. - oGMo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Doesn't keep other people from writing one. I thought that was the point of open source and services. If you want something, you can write it yourself. Surely we have not fallen so far that we can't come up with a community project to do this?
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8BTW, you can download the drop-in PHP Script yourself and create a mobile version for your web site or blog, in just 3 steps. Download location and even more mobile screenshots here: http://eugenia.blogsome.com/2006/08/11/tuxtops-mobile/
- jkill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5What happened to http://digg.com/mobile ? I used it till it stopped working.
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5More info and many screenshots here:

- bhowell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Ohhh. And this whole time, I thought this was about the digg-mobile
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y123/digero/diggmobile.jpg - nubtard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I prefer Opera Mini.
- oGMo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Eh, you can get just about the same thing by using Opera Mini. Or bloglines mobile pointed at digg. Or one of a vast number of other solutions which don't actually let you access 99% of the functionality that makes digg digg.
How about someone writes a mobile interface that lets me log in, digg stories and comments, and browse upcoming articles, etc.
Google has really nice, simple Java midlet clients for Google Maps and Google Chat. Surely someone could whip up something similar for digg... - deadbaby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Don't the RSS feeds pretty much cover it? Do you really want to type comments on your phone? Do you want to waste your data bits on reading comments?
- PAJK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Digg Regular works just fine on my BlackBerry. :) Good idea though, for less-capable mobile browsers.
- HaloprO, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Another thing, isn't the point to a mini-digg to avoid having to goto digg.com?
They link to the digg page, not the digg stories. Very inconvenient! - BuddyChrist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.pspdigg.com/
Links directly to the story. (Only because on the psp you get "Out of Memory Errors"). I can't wait for an official mobile.digg.com. - Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2>Eugenia: I'm sorry, you are wrong claiming that cHTML is more compatible than XHTML.
Sorry Sim, but you are wrong. cHTML *is* more compatible than XHTML-MP and I am talking about the standard HTML tags, and NOT the i-Mode special tags.
Remember, my mobile code is not only good for cellphones, but I am taking special care of old computers (e.g. Amiga, Atari, Be), embedded systems, gaming systems (e.g. Dreamcast browser) and UNIX text-mode browsers.
ALL these browsers have one thing in common: HTML 3.2. And this is why the basic form of cHTML is your best bet for compatibility with anything NON-desktop.
Remember, not just cellphones!!
Regarding WURFL, please don't take me for an idiot. I know WURFL, my husband works with the guy who created it at the same company. And WURFL is not the answer for what I want to achieve. - rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2BTW, Kevin stated in Episode 51, June 22, at about 19:10 into the episode that "DiggAPI would be released in about three months", which would be late Septemder. Can we get a clarification on that, Kevin or Digg staff?
- bigredgpk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, Opera mini formats Digg.com perfectly for mobile devices.
Is that Opera rocking the house, or is there is lite version of Digg? My Treo's Blazer is horrible for Digg.com
Timmay - antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Heh I thought the title was about vehicles like Batmobile.
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2>but it's all just javascript calls back to the server. You've got the JS source. That's all you need.
NO, this is NOT enough. Only 5% of the mobile browsers we want to support can do JS. JS is completely useless in the mobile space. A real mobile digg site must be real HTML without any Ajax, heavy CSS or JS. Otherwise, you are better off only use Opera Mobile (not Mini) and maybe Pocket IE and Symbian's WebKit. Every other major browser can't manage JS, so this is not a great solution.
For the last time: to create a real Digg in mobile, you need an SDK so you can do it the right way. JS won't help you. - SDNick484, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1As much as I hate Pocket IE, it actually renders digg fairly well on the Motorola Q (I would use Opera Mini, but despite working on the Q, you can't register it for the Q yet so you have to hassle with uninstalling then reinstalling it every two weeks). Slashdot also renders great on the Q when you set it to "One Column" view.
- Seizure, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If i didn't have a laptop for my portable digging escapades, this would probably make my day.
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is just cHTML, which is way more compatble than XHTML/CSS. cHTML is the best-supported branch of HTML supported by these mobile/embedded/text-mode browsers, this is why we use that.
- grendel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1been using skweezer.com to view digg
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1AGAIN, it's the RSS' feed fault. They don't give us the real URLs, they give us the Digg's urls of the stories. Go and shout to Kevin Rose for this!
- aschapm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it's missing the most important part: diggs per story!
- TekGuru, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I think they are working on it now. Check digg.com/mobile doesn't seem fully functional rigth now , but i bet it is on it's way....
- mandarin, on 10/17/2007, -2/+3Will this work on the new opera browser for the Nintendo DS?
Just curious. - HaloprO, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It works yeah, but... it isn't even updated or recent!
I do not like. - BangoSkank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I there is also www.PocketDigg.com. It has been around while. It is a light weight version of Digg. It does drives you to Digg when you click on the links, but it works great on pocketpc’s and blackberrys and such. It also has some other tech news on it.
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Of course and it is recent! The RSS feed of Digg is updating every 10 minutes or so. So, because this script uses the RSS script, you will have to wait 1 to 10 minutes to get the latest stories.
- ascheinberg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here you go, including diggs per story.
http://dev.firsttube.com/digg/ - ascheinberg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That would be trivial to implement. It's already in the RSS feed.
- coxon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Looks awesome on a Blackberry 7130!
- Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i set this as the homepage for the netvibes minibrowser module it looks better then squezed digg
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You have no idea what you are talking about. CHTML *is* more compatible than XHTML.
- matthiasgoodman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://google.com/gwt/n is a great mobile gateway and it optimizes the pages you click to as well. While this digg mobile looks nice, the stories still load as full pages, which can be slow and awkward.
- ascheinberg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Blame digg for that. The RSS feed doesn't contain the link.
- looksliketrent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://mobilrss.net/?feed=digg
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sorry, but everything is wrong in that page. It looks really plain, too long, and it requires re-loading to read the descriptions. Overall, this page will cost much more over GPRS than when using my solution.
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good to hear! Just make sure that the extra features are turned ON on your Blackberry. You see, RIM is shipping the blackberry browser with most features OFF, like tables, colors etc!!
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Also, it's all done in CSS, which means that only about 10% of the mobile browser market is going to render this page correctly. And about 1% of the embedded/text-mode/old-browser market...
- macewan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1looks nice on a nokia 770
- gweedo767, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just added to my bookmarks on my UTStarcom 6700 :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Bleh. No thanks. Browsing on a 1.5" screen is retarded. I love my treo, but I am sure as hell not going to sit around trying to surf the internet or forums or digg articles on a screen the size of a pat of butter.
- ycc2106, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1incase, other mobile diggs:
http://www.pocketdigg.com/default.htm
http://www.orrentdesign.com/digglet/index.html - KeiichiMorisato, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dude!
I browse digg on my Blackberry 8700.. very handy when you're waiting in line at the supermarket, or for your oil change.. or anything else where you can't use your computer.
I'd love to be able to view digg without the heavy js/css site like I can wired and bbc news.
Looking forward to the official site. - CanuckMakem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Looks great on my Blackberry.
- kstar6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Apparently no one here is a Treo fan, but the 700P likes it.
- zackk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't really like the idea of cHTML(also known as i-mode) which is not compatible with most of the mobile phones. Why can't people go for standard like WML or xHTML?
- Eugenia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sorry again, this site does not look good on 128x128 cellphones.
