the specific “design” doesn’t bother me much – i just want the text and nothing else, reflowed properly for a mobile screen.

Makes one wonder whether the consistency of design for all those wptouch-enabled sites isn’t going to set a new design standard… just out of habit.

This theme doesn’t reflow properly on a mobile, so it’s not nearly as readable as the WPTouch version. So amma gonna leave it as is.

Re: Global Voices – would be happy to beta. let me know.

Have you considered turning off WPTouch now that this is your theme? It strikes me as pretty compatible though maybe the font looks small (change it to a user-defined default?). I came in from twitter on my iphone and saw the super-generic version from WPTouch.

Let me know if you want to beta-test the new Global Voices and tell me if its readable enough ;) I’ve kind of been obsessing about big comfortable text and compatibility with text resizing.

I can’t even read stuff in Google Reader anymore it so cluttered.
