Google Reader Mobile is pretty awesome, by my reckoning, I use it daily to weed through my feeds while in between activities. Makes use of Wap or something to allow using “hotkeys”. 0- next story, * – star something, # – leave unread, etc.

I personally find that the most basic interfaces (using WML of course) are the best when it comes to browsing the web on my mobile.

Also, www.diggriver.com is pretty nice

PocketTweets—Twitter for your iPhone.

I’ll second the http://mobile.seriouseats.com/ recommendation.

HelpSpot iPhone UI

http://www.mediatemple.net/iphone/ Is gorgeous, if a little limited in features.

Looks like some not to be named company is looking for some inspiration :-)

Porting some apps to the mobile platform, eh?

Some great sites/apps:

NewsGator m.newsgator.com
Movies.app moviesapp.com
Remote Buddy http://www.iospirit.com/remotebuddy/
Digg digg.com/iphone

Remember the Milk’s iPhone interface is very well done, although it’s unfortunately only available for subscribers to their (non-free) Pro account. You can see screenshots to get a feel for it here.

Lights Off iPhone game

One of my favorites for my iPhone is the twitter interface by Thincloud.

twitter.thincloud.com

They give you a textarea to type your twitter in… unlike the textfield?! that they provide on m.twitter.com.

Lots of good links on my personal start page for my Sidekick3:

http://mobile.yahoo.com/iphone disappoints because they are apparently sniffing for only the iPhone user agent instead of the iPod or Mobile Safari strings for the user agent. Oh well.

Fox News has a pretty nifty iPhone-optimized version of their main news site: www.iphone.foxnews.com

I would have to say Rugby Mate is probably the best mobile app/site I have used. They designed it from the ground up to work on mobile devices and everything you wanted was within a couple of clicks. If anyone is designing a similar sports stats interface they would be advised to check out Rugby Mate.

Vitalist is almost a competitor to Ta-Da List, but follows the “Getting Things Done” ideals. It is already a simple app, and the mobile version just compresses it a little to fit the screen.

http://hahlo.com – more Twitter for your iPhone. Not a huge fan of Twitter, but really like this interface, especially how the menu loads at top (when clicking on “menu!”)

I have to gripe here—no fair on the iPhone interfaces. They look good partly because they’re wrapped in the iPhone :P. Show me a good Windows Mobile interface, and I’ll show you a real feat of ID.

http://m.facebook.com is pretty good by those standards.

I think this is certainly one of the best I’ve seen: http://flickim.com (access via iPhone) Makes use of two-fingered scrolling, and the UI elements just seem to fit nicely.

Also, I’ll second the new Google iPhone UI. (http://google.com on iPhone) Very useful.

http://app.getleaflets.com is also nice.

(not a big fan of TaDa list on iPhone btw—feels clunky compared to some of these).

Here is a good site to read books on mobile, has more than 1200 books.

Cmadras Mobile

Radar has a ~really slick iPhone interface: radar.net

Verrrry nice.

Blog article(s) about design process for an iPhone interface.

(sort of a one shot approach across all devices to deliver product and local reviews

Lots of good sites listed here so far. I maintain a free list of about 250 mobile websites at Cantoni.mobi. I try to focus on sites that will work well for any mobile or smartphone (not just iPhone specific).

I love the Bloglines mobile interface on my Treo 680.

Very clean and to the point.
