Accessing NSF from PDA / mobile phone
« on: 08/29/2009 08:26 pm »
I've been accessing NSF occasionally from my phone for a while now, but the data charges have been incredibly high (up to 750 kb per page).

I know there is an iPhone version of NSF, and today I found the "WAP" version of NSF. Just suffix the forum URL with ";WAP2".

For instance on my phone this URL downloads 465kb and takes 45s (via my wifi connection to a 7mbps internet connection):- http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=16547.0.

This URL downloads 1kb and takes 3s:- http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=16547.0;wap2. There are less entries per page, but with such instant responses that works just great. The one thing I miss is seeing quoted text - anyone know if there's an option to turn that on?


Result!!

cheers, Martin
