Today, after numerous delays of such, we can officially say that XboxPolis.com has gone mobile. The mobile site is redirected to you from any use of a mobile device, such as Windows Phone, Blackberry, iPhone, iPod touch, Palm, Droid- or whatever phone. When on a laptop or desktop, of course, our full site will load.

You may notice the similar look of the mobile site to the actual site. We dig that too.

There are a few bugs on the mobile site, and we’re trying our hardest to work on them. If you find any bugs, tweet us @xboxpolis.


Known Issues:
- Unable to go to the regular site (like having the option to go to the mobile site or the full site) on your mobile device: This has something to do with the template we use, but we’re looking for a fix. Although, you won’t see a fix soon for this certain issue.

- Photo Resizing on articles and other pages: Photo sizes, although intentionally shrunk for mobile adaption, you will see the photos sometimes compress close to each other. We’re looking for a fix.

- Page sizes: Some page sizes are too big for mobile phones. Whether it is the text’s fault (which depends on your device) or a big image or a large javascript/flash object, this problem will be reoccurring. Like the others, we’re working on a fix.

The Awesome Part about this:
- Faster Loading = Lower bills, more battery: The faster we load the site, the lower your bill is (depending on your phone plan) and the more battery you have to waste on something else. And faster loading is badass anyway.

- Easy Commenting: The DISQUS commenting system we use has mobile adaption, making it easier for you to comment on our articles with your opinion.

- iPhone / iPod Touch icon for home screens: There’s an icon for everything.

- Quick Links: Provided at the bottom of every page on the mobile site, you can get to our Community, News page, Reviews page, top of the page, Twitter profile, Facebook profile, and more.

- Community: Although the community site looks and feels downgraded, it is a much faster and simpler experience navigating around the Community.

So basically, we did something good for a very inactive site. We love our site XboxPolis. As should you. In the future, we’ll [hopefully] be releasing applications instead of having to use the browser on your mobile device. Our first hope is the Windows Phone 7. Mmmmm….
