User eXperience!
Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0:
I took mobile constraints into account
Encourage time-constrained authors
to address critical problems first
Repartition per number of sub-tests failed
(on ~60000 Web addresses checked by the tool since April 2008)
Examples of mobileOK Web sites: Google search engine, the official mobile version of Wikipedia, the T-Online portal, Remember the milk, the mobile version of Voici.
