PistonHeads Mobile Launches

Welcome to the future - keep up to date with PH on the move

---

What do you do when you are at a track day or stuck at a family event, someone is wrong on the PH forums and you just need to point out the error of their ways? Well, now there’s a solution – PistonHeads Mobile.

Browsing PistonHeads on your mobile has been a slightly slow and squinty affair before now, so in response to cries from PHers of ‘get a better mobile site!’, we’ve created PistonHeads Mobile to save both your eyesight and sanity.

Simply type mobile.pistonheads.com into your latest NokiPhoneBerry and you can keep up to date with the goings-on in the forums, the latest news and features, and browse for your dream car in the classifieds.

But there’s no need to worry if you don’t have the latest, shiny mobile technology, as the site has been developed to work with any handset capable of connecting to the internet. The site cleverly works out your mobile’s browser capabilities and will deliver you a clean, fast and easy-to-read version of PistonHeads while on the move.

We hope you like it. And now you can let us know whether you do or not via your mobile!

I'm anticipating the usual PH slowdown after something new is introduced....

p.s. still looks shocking on my Nokia 6300 at GPRS speeds..... User rather than site at fault I'd think!

Looks great and works really well.

Good work guys.

PistonHeads has always been accessible by mobile phones, but not optimised for them, so this launch means that we are providing content in a mobile friendly way.

I never had a problem with my 5800 on the 'old' ph..

Works great, although so did the full website. This is really slick though, will be great for when have only GPRS signal.

We made the server change last night and there is a possibility this hasn't propagated through the whole Internet yet as this is a new URL. If it still doesn't work by tomorrow then let us know and we will see if it is an internal problem.

Works great from my Gen 1 iPhone

I come to the pistonheads site to avoid IT and enjoy motoring news/forums, enough of your technological chit chat! (did you remember to update the SOA...?)

Seriously though, looks swish, good work.

Superb. Looks great on my device with WSVGA display.
