   I’ve recently become a big fan of these and I’ve been using MobilePress (customized theme to ‘match’ my site). It loads fast, it ‘fits’ handheld devices, and people reported, happily, that it was very welcome.

   Not all sites need it, but it can make things easier to read on the road.

   Definitely in favor of this move! I’ve used several different mobile plugins, eventually settling on WordPress Mobile Edition when they redesigned to use Carrington Mobile. Even on my Android phone (T-Mobile G1), which basically runs Chrome, bandwidth and screen size are still major factors that can interfere with viewing a web page designed for broadband speeds and desktop screens. The standard blogging practice of putting multiple articles on the front page makes it even more important.

   My only concern would be an ability to switch back & fourth from the mobile device. A la places like Flickr, who default to a mobile theme, but then allow you to switch and set your default preference.
