  • ruzuzu A mobile is a "type of sculpture consisting of carefully equilibrated parts that move, especially in response to air currents." - American Heritage Dictionary.

    From Wikipedia: "The sculptor Alexander Calder is well known for his mobiles. Calder invented the mobile in 1931. Marcel Duchamp suggested the name "mobile". Mobiles are also popular in the nursery, where they hang over cribs to give infants something to entertain them . . . ."

  • mollusque Just went mobile, with a G1. It works pretty well with regular Wordie because I can line it up on a column and scroll down. The thing I miss is being able to search within a page. May 10, 2009

  • whichbe When a mob moves about. Dec 1, 2008

  • reesetee I'd love to. Anyone want to buy me a new mobile device? ;-) Nov 17, 2007

  • john Oops, sorry about that. Should be fixed now, if anyone else wants to give mini-wordie a shot. Nov 16, 2007

  • kewpid I get an "Internal Server Error" message on my Nokia 6120c Nov 16, 2007

  • john I just added a super basic mini version of Wordie, optimized for small-display devices like cell phone browsers and smartphones:
    http://wordie.org/m

    After it's been tested some I'll add a link in the 'tools' section and blog it. Would love to hear any feedback, especially from folks with different kinds of phones. Works fine on my Treo 650, but that's all I've tried it with.

  • arby I want something that is legible and yet will allow me to add words to my lists. At this point I'm more concerned about that than about comments. So often I'm out and about and see or hear an awesome word that I want to add to a list! Oct 17, 2007

  • john Some folks have asked for a mobile version of wordie. This seems like the appropriate place to talk about it. What features do you most want in a mobile version? What do we even mean by "mobile version?" A very simple one-column layout so that it's readable on mobile devices, like treos? The ability to add words or do searches via sms? Other things?
