Sahar at Conceptualist has a post about creating your site so that it can be read on mobile devices. Although I haven’t done it yet for this site, it is something that needs to be done for almost every site - and for EVERYONE who has a corporate / business site.
MLB.com has been ahead of the tech curve for years, and if you bring up MLB.com on your mobile device the first thing you see are all the scores of current and recent games. This makes perfect sense as this is what most people are probably looking for if they are on their phones.
NFL.com however is a different story - on a mobile device the page loads a pretty boring WAP specific page (this is new in the past few weeks - previously it was their normal site) with links to subpages, including the scores subpage. If you click on the scores page it only loads 4 scores per page, so you may have to click the link 4 times in order to find the score you want (seriously - would it be that tough to load 16 scores per page??). As a result I use Sportsline.com when I want to catch a football score on my phone.
If you run a business, the # 1 thing I recommend doing is making sure your phone number quickly loads on the page if someone has a mobile device. When I got to a website on my phone, it is frequently to find the phone number of the company, not to do in depth research on a product or service. If your “contact us” page is hidden or uses flash you are making it difficult for people on phones to find and contact your business - which is probably the point of having a website in the first place.
