Added Viewport setting so zoom works correctly on iPhone, and iPod touch
The iPhone, and iPod touch display too many words per line when viewing single column pages. The double tap zoom does not work properly on some single column pages, and when you pinch zoom, the number of words per line is not reduced. The result is horizontal scrolling is necessary to read each line which gets frustrating after about two lines.
If you add meta name="viewport" content="width = 320" / to the HEAD section of your webpage, the iPhone, and iPod touch will render to a 320 pixel display, which allows the page to zoom to a readable text size, and be read without horizontal scrolling. I have added meta name="viewport" content="width = 320" / to each page on ConsultPDA.com so iPhone / iPod touch users do not have to horizontally scroll when reading this site.
Hopefully, Apple will add a setting to mobile Safari which will allow the user to display single column pages at a readable text size without horizontal scrolling. Many single column sites may never add the viewport meta tag, and viewing those pages on an iPhone, or iPod touch will require horizontal scrolling.
Made major changes without changing design of site
Updated many of the pages. The information was not out-dated, just a bit stale. I eliminated sections I perceived to be superfluous, or too wordy. The major subject change was the addition of the new consulting services for the Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC).
New Blog Tracking Windows Mobile Use with Emphasis on Treo 700w
Added a blog to track my experiences using Windows Mobile devices, with emphasis on the Treo 700w. I take my Treo 700w with me everytime I leave the house. I use the Treo 700w more as a data device than a phone.
More Formats for Introductory Videos
Added Quicktime (Macintosh), and Kinoma (Palm OS) versions of draft introductory video.
Added Introductory Video (Draft)
Added links for an introductory draft video which explains the services I offer, and my business and PDA background. The video is app. 1 minutes 45 seconds long and is available in 218 Kbps, 512 Kbps. and 1 Mbps Windows Streaming Media format. As time permits, I will also offer a Quicktime format (Macintosh) and a Kinoma format (Palm OS).
New Graphics Added
Added two graphics, one on each side of the main ConsultPDA.com graphic. The graphics are embossed PDA's with a big question mark in the middle to signify that ConsultPDA.com will answer questions you may have about deploying a Palm OS or Windows Mobile PDA business solution in your organization.
New Front Page Logo
Designed a new logo for the front page today. The logo contains the same info as the old logo; however, it is blue lettering on a white background. In addition to looking better, the file size is smaller which is important for PDA users downloading via a bluetooth phone.
The logo was designed on the HP 4155 Pocket PC using Vectorsoft Draw, CedeFTP, and HBomb while waiting for dinner at Bennigan's.
I am very experienced using both Palm OS and Windows Mobile PDA's for business solutions. Since I retired from my full time job, I am offering on-site and cyber consultant services within the Route 495 belt of Boston, MA, USA. Cyber consulting services are available worldwide. This blog will track the development of the ConsultPDA.com website which will advertise my consultant services.
