since im always on the search for more shit to read on my BB,

post here if you come across mobile sites for regular sites that are especially well done or provide a lot of good content for killing time in airports or whatever, only formatted in mobile web versions, not regular sites

decent idea - although i imagine you could google a better list....

this largely depends on how your device/browser is interpreted

most major sports/news/tech websites have mobile alternatives that automatically show up based on device/browser detection - cnn.com / espn.com / engadget.com / etc...

it's already starting for PDA/smart phones and will continue as speed/memory isn't as much of an issue - mobile versions will be used a lot less

i mostly try to avoid the stripped down mobile versions unless it's over 2mb per page

maybe im googling wrong

but i typed in a couple different similar search strings to "best of the mobile web"

and came up with stuff about mobile web browsers

no content or sites

plus this will be more targeted i think

plus, you cant beat the stripped down versions for just plain old information gathering

espn's mobile site is FAR superior to the actual espn.com

even if bandwidth/speed isnt an issue,

espn has one of the worst websites ever

access to info is much more streamlined on the mobile page

not really content for wasting time, but the last time I was traveling I used delta and hilton's websites on my BB and they worked real nice.
