A few things to consider and know while using CoinNews Mobile …
The 12 most recent numismatic headlines and summaries are provided through the CoinNews Mobile Site. While you can "tap" on the headline and read the entire article, realize that will display it and the main CoinNews site. Given the images and other content, that’s normally not recommended given the typical phone’s bandwidth and form factor, which makes reading PC websites unrealistic.
Also, the decision was made not to include images with the mobile news article summaries. We wanted to ensure the loading time was blazing fast and minimize bandwidth costs.
Finally, the CoinNews Mobile site architecture is set up to detect whether it’s being accessed from a mobility device or from a PC computer. If you enter the URL of the mobile site on your PC computer, for example, you’ll simply be redirected to CoinNews.com. If you’re using an enhanced mobile device with PC style capabilities, there’s a link at the bottom of the CoinNews Mobile site that you can tap to switch over to CoinNews.com.
More features are coming to the site so please feel free to always send us suggestions or report site problems.
