I was wondering if you would consider adding a "Head-Fi for PDA" link? I would love to be able to surf the forums on my Cassiopeia handheld, but the formatting on the forums looks awful that way. Just a text only version of the forums formatted for handheld screens would be the ticket. I don't know if there are other people who would like this too, or how much more work it would be for you Jude, but I thought I would throw the idea out there.

redshifter,

At the bottom of every thread is a button that says "Show Printable Version." That opens up a text version of the thread. That is currently the best immediately available solution.

As far as a plain-text version of all the non-thread pages, that's something we'd consider if enough requests were made for it. Admittedly, yours is the first, but maybe others need this too.

I only have a palm iiixe, but it'd be cool to have a PDA version.

Thanks Jude, I'll try the printable version.

Looks like at least two votes so far!

Yes, a pda link or channel would be cool. In fact, my curiosity started when Jude mentioned about using coolets in one of the balanced power threads. Since then I have used iSiloWeb to download the printable versions of threads to my palm. The iSilo format is much easier to use than the coola conduit. I wonder if anyone of you PDA users have created personal Avantgo channel or if head-fi can hook up with Avantgo.

I'll start looking into the possibility of a PDA-friendly option, but I can't make any promises on time frames or anything like that.

rajan, I can't believe I haven't tried using AvantGo and seeing how it works with Head-Fi. I'll try that too.

I used Avantgo to create my Head-Fi channel, and with images turned off it still looked messed up. Also with a link depth of 1 on no off site browsing I wasn't able to access the forums from the main page (does the url change from www to cgi at some point?).
